As an Architecture student, we always have a site analysis assignment before we do the architect design. Our first assignment Neighborhood analysis is similar to site analysis, both assignments need so the research of the history of the place we visit. However, if the site analysis is focused on the specific place, the Neighborhood analysis is more about the entire community.

In the Neighborhood analysis, we use the voice memos to record everything that we see during we walking in the area, this activity is kind of interesting to me, the main reason was I never have experience about voice memos, so this requirement is fresh to me. On the other hand every day I walk around my neighborhood, I am not always paying attention about what happens in the area（except the construction work）, if the assignment requires change by video recording instead of the voice memos, I believe I would holding the camera and walking on the street unpurposed. By using voice memos, I have to observe everything that happens at the moment, and we can find something that we never pay attention in daily during the observation.

This assignment gives a chance to learn about my neighborhood change by the time, and the voice memos help me do observation in the detail. I appreciate this assignment give me a great experience that never has before.
