Project 2a
The Discovery Center (Genius Loci) - Site Analysis, Site Response and Design Concept

The project design brief calls for an
architectural response toward the sense of place with a strong engagement and relationship to the site and programmatic
requirements. Project 2a requires an analysis of the site context as a starting point. It is a fundamental need for any design
project as it will suggest a series of parameters to suggest architectural solution, one that will be appropriate to the place and
its meaning, and contributes to its context. The site needs to be understood, in both intuitive and personal ways, as well
as quantitative and measured means.
