The fabric of the site can be separated in four distinct zones: 

• Shops - the most dynamic zone of the fabric

• Junkyard - dumping, management and segregation of waste

• Garage - maintenance and repairing happens

• Service road - restricted

There is very little intermingling that happens among the people inhabiting these zones.

Question:

What will it mean to seam together the four zones of the site? Will it be a focal point or an axis through the space that pulls together this fabric?

Can architecture provoke the amalgamation of a broad and distinct fabric of a place? What form emerges to create a space for it?
