PROJECT 2A
Experiencing Place - 'Genius Loci’ - Site Analysis & Concept Development
In Project 2, We were given a site called Machap Baru, Kampung Baru which is a traditional new village located at Alor Gajah, Malacca, Malaysia. From the segregated tasks we were given in Project 2, we firstly studied the site in terms of macro and micro perspectives. As the preparation for the design we going to do in Project 2B, we need to come out with complete research of the historical and cultural aspect of Machap Baru in a group, understanding the concept of genius loci and develop an initial concept from the personal interpretation or feeling of Machap Baru.

REFLECTION
Site analysis helps us to understand the site context therefore we are able to respond to the context and create a meaningful design that can stand on the site appropriately. The cultural aspect of the site is a significant consideration that we all need to think about and carry out to public by architecture.
