Diagram: Itinerary

Uxmal was an organically formed city. The buildings sprawl so that they are not in a set pattern, but somehow still manage create an itinerary through the site. The orientation of the structures helps in creating an anchoring space that serves as the center. In this diagram the abstract, nebula like tones give way to various directions that have been extended to show how the itinerary creates that same space in the center to anchor it, shown by the shaded space. The darkest line weights show the most influential edges in creating the anchor. As the line weights decrease, the lines become more arbitrary but still serve in structuring the itinerary.
