CONCEPT
Because of the cluttered, the whole site becomes hard to understand for the visitors. Every part of the site is isolated from the other parts, the circulation system is disorganized, fences and complicated topography block a visitor’s route from one area to another. As a result, lack of consistency becomes the main problem of the site. In the masterplan stage, the concept of linking is applied to create connection between different parts inside the site and different areas outside the site.
