TASK 

Part 2
Task 1: Historical Research and Tracing Macro Site
Our initial endeavor involves a meticulous exploration of the historical context surrounding our assigned site. Through diligent research, we shall delve into the rich tapestry of its past, unearthing forgotten narratives and hidden truths. We will scour through published and unpublished literature, decipher the whispers of old photographs and maps, and trace the evolution of the site over significant temporal stages. This comprehensive investigation will not only reveal the physical transformations of the landscape, but also illuminate the dynamic interplay of life, memory, and history that has shaped the very essence of the place. By drawing inspiration from this multilayered history, we aim to bridge the gap between past and present, ensuring our contemporary design resonates with the legacy of the site while boldly charting a course for its future.

Task 2: Site Analysis – Macro and Micro
With the historical foundation established, we embark on a rigorous analysis of the site itself. Donning the mantle of meticulous investigators, we shall employ a diverse array of tools, from detailed maps and precise sketches to evocative photographs and immersive videography. Our focus will encompass both the macro and micro scales, meticulously recording the interplay of environmental factors such as sun path, vegetation, climate, and surrounding topography. Additionally, we shall dissect the human dimension, analyzing pedestrian circulation, adjacent contexts, and the vibrant tapestry of activities and businesses that breathe life into the space. This comprehensive data collection will serve as the bedrock of our design, ensuring its harmonious integration with the existing fabric of the site and its sensitive response to the needs of its users.

These initial tasks represent the first steps in our ambitious journey. As we continue to unlock the site's secrets and translate data into design, we invite you to join us on this exciting intellectual exploration. Stay tuned as we delve deeper into the heart of the place, where history whispers its stories and the future awaits to be shaped.
