Abstract
As cities keep growing, peripheral areas are prone to becoming a playground for rapid developments. City governments seem to use it as a cupboard space for the storage of buildings and structures which they need, but do not want in the city-centre. In the process existing fabric is destroyed to be replaced by new alien structures.Therefore this project is on one hand a research into the workings of the periphery and on the other hand a proposal for an architectural intervention which responds to its peripheral context in a sensible and meaningful way.
