THE ROOFLESS GARDEN: THE CANOPY





The canopy as an architectural element is the structure that covers the archaeological site. However, more than a roof it becomes a structure that gives the means to the user to engage with the process of familiarizing with the historical site and inhabiting it. The site becomes a ‘garden’ of pleasures: the pleasure of investigating history and its manifestations.
This idea represents the idea i wish to emulate ... the idea of the canopy acting as more than a canopy but also allowing people to engage with the site and inhabiting it. To be able to engage with the canopy, in thaqt the canopy facilitates the KITS.
