Before we got started with our Project 2, as usual, we had gone for a site study trip in Pasar Panjang, Singapore. This semester, the place we visited is called Labrador Park, a historical national park located in Pasir Panjang, Singapore, next to the island of Sentosa. The study trip was set for 4 days 3 nights, from 19th April (Saturday) to 22nd April (Tuesday) 2014.
The very first destination we had been to during the trip was Labrador Park, we were required to travel around the park to discover and analyse the site in order to produce a micro-site analysis of the 3 of the identified micro sites at the end of the visit of the given hours. First two subsequent morning-to-noon time, we were carrying out site analysis in the park.

In the same group with the members from Project 1, we had conducted site analysis of the physical context within our site chosen - Site B (Elevated site). Analyses were done in conjuction with the following references as a framework for our recording:
- Site survey: provide dimensions of its width and depth and indicate any adjacent buildings at the levels of plans, elevations and sections to create an accurate record of what currently exists.
- Orientation (sun path)
- Climate (rainfall & temperature)
- Site contours
- Adjacent streest and vehicular traffic patterns
- Pedestrian circulation
- Neighbouring contexts
- Vegetation
- Views from the site
- Views to the site
- Views through the site
- Noise
- Human-Cultural
Upon the completion of ths project, we are able to achieve the architectural response toward the sense of place with a strong engagement and relationship to the site in Labrador Park, including a series of parameters to suggest architectural solution, one that will be appropriate to the place and its meaning, and contributes to its context.
Genius Loci - society, culture, history, memory and the landscape of a particular place enchoes the meaning of the 'place'...
