36. CONTEXT
LACK OF
DIVERSITY
W E A K N E S S
Activities are restricted as site C is surrounded by administration buildings. Citizens
in that area prefer to stay inside the building rather than the outdoor area.
Hence, there is no interaction between different user groups.
The Site can be transformed into a Social Anchor that can
promote interaction and give people a chance to have
contact with nature and release stress.
37. CONTEXT
NOISEW E A K N E S S
Noises that affect our site are mainly causes by transportation. The
LRT produces Intermittent noise every 3 to 4 minutes whereas vehicles
produce continuous noise especially during peak hours.

block sound penetration
