Genius Loci

"We are about to embark on another 10 week unit called Object and Place. Our site is a electricity substation building, our location is Ancoats. Over the next 10 weeks we will be developing concepts to occupy this space, however before we develop ideas for its occupation we need to discover and explore our building and its context."

The title of this project is 'Genius Loci' otherwise translated in Roman religion as the protective spirit of place. We have been set a one week intensive project in which we must research the surrounding area around the substation, Ancoats and produce a response to our findings. We must create a presentation that communicates our findings, history and observations.

I decided firstly to deconstruct the brief and really try to understand it properly before reseraching anything into Ancoats.
