Building vs Context

Building and context always relate to each other. We refer to the context of the site while doing city planning. We need to research the relationship between people, natural elements, sites, and buildings. Most of the developers only care about the spreading of the property over the place. They have neglected the building they develop is always influenced or connected to the context of the site. A successful city planning is all the infrastructure is in good condition without any improper fittings where people's needs are fulfilled and life quality is increased.

For this project, the context of the site is an important element that guides me to have a good functionality of Pasar. Pasar is a community engagement platform. It needs to be returned to the community and formed a seamless boundary between Pasar and site surrounding in order to have harmony relationship. Context always includes the natural features around it where it is best to have it in your building so that it formed a good bonding between the building and the natural features. Besides, In conclusion, Pasar should reflect the characteristics and elements of the site context.
