Site

For our company, Hijau Budi, we were needed to place our obelisk near the main road which beside the site was CIMB bank and Mahasiswa store. So, it was a place where people can see clearly the obelisk when they pass through along the site. We were being informed that, the road near the site was regularly used by the student to go to their class or to the bus stand. So it’s the best place to show our design to the public. In front of the site was a round-a-board. The driver can see the obelisk when they take turn. From our observation we had placed the obelisk according to the specific and in the right angle which also considered the geometrical and symmetrical of the site to the context. Luckily, the green tall trees and plant around the site had make the environment more appealed. It like we were creating something from nothing on the site.
