In architectural education site visits are used to deepen understanding of place for a number of reasons - the potential of a site, the specifics of the climate and physical context, how a place might be used.

Learning through experience can be powerful, and the potential for deep and transformative learning is there. Personal experience of a site can provide social interaction and a broad, unframed, ‘raw’ experience that can challenge assumptions, inform judgements and change points of view.

Applying theory to the often project-based assessment can be challenging. Site visits offer the opportunity to explore how others have solved the problems, often in professional situations.

As an alternative to walking around the site with a group of students, a guide tour can be offered in real time, accompanied by, this case, the architect, explaining the project, the design process as well as the current situation on site. • ARCH6008 a site visit to Strawberry Hill Visitors Centre, Albany Source: Dave Gibson, PTX Architects. 2020 ARCH6008 Professional Practice Practicum Coordinator: Dr Lara Mackintosh.

Virtual site visits allows us not only to simulate the experience of being on site, but also to experience it through a different lens. Experts can offer a new way of interrogating the site and their insights help to frame new understanding. • ARCH6006 a virtual tour of Tuart Woodland Source: Dr Dylan Korczynskyj, 2020 ARCH6006 Community Building Studio Coordinator: Katherine Ashe.

Site visits can offer more than a snapshot of time. Spending multiple days on site, relying on others experience of the site, clients, stakeholders is not always an option. Digital site mapping can be used to simulate changing conditions. • ARCH6000 site mapping using point cloud Source: spatialcostudio 2020 ARCH6000 Public Project Studio Coordinator: Dr Simon Pendal

Often it can be difficult to revisit a site in class, and limiting understanding of change over time. However, the scene can be set for students, encouraging independent site visits and providing a guide to the new way of thinking. • ENVR3200 a virtual tour of the White Gum Valley Development Source: Linda Davies + Lara Mackintosh 2020 ENVR3200 Understanding Sustainable Development Coordinator: Dr Linda Davies.
