genius loci: site analysis & concept development

A genius loci is a location's distinctive athmosphere and prevailing spirit. Society, culture, history, memory and the landscape of a particular place echoes the meaning of that particular place. These qualities influence the architectural concept and generators if a project is to be done on that area. 

 

The design brief calls for an architectural response toward the sense of place with a strong engagement and relationship to the site and programmatic requirements. It requires an in-depth site analysis of apparent and intrinsic traits of Bukit Cina, a 600-year old Chinese grave in Melaka. The site is to be understood in both intuitive and personal ways, as well as quantitative and measured means.
