Portuguese Settlement - Plaza Site
Site Analysis & Design Concept
In the same group previously, we produce site analysis which document, interpret and analyse the physical conditions of the site and ‘genius loci’ of place and generate design based on the unique character and conditions of the site context.
​
Individually, I was asked produce your personal interpretation of the MACRO site in the form of sketches. The personal interpretations of the overall character of the site will inform subsequent design decisions, and it is important to record these honestly and immediately
Portuguese Settlement Site Analysis Report
After having a deeper understanding on the site itself and proposing my design concept, I response to design a visitor interpretive center that emphasize a strong engagement and relationship to the site, spatial experiences and programmatic requirements.
This project involves us into more realistic and practical field and testify our ability to design not only focus on user's experiences, but also require to be responsive to the site. Being site responsive and create according to the needs of the community is challenging, yet it engages me into a deeper experience of architectural design. Through the process of designing, the exploration of it really broaden my knowledge and views toward architecture.
