Architectural adaptation begins with an existing place, its constraints and the people who need it to work differently.

Collect the available records, visit the site and distinguish confirmed conditions from assumptions. Understand how structure, light, services and access shape the brief.
Useful output
An existing-condition account and a register of questions that need investigation.

Useful output
Concept options with clear spatial arguments and explicit tradeoffs.
