Site Analysis 2

This a diagram of the forces at work on the site at the immediate contextual scale as well as small city-scale diagram depicting its relationship to two of the major public/commercial sites in the city.

In the larger diagram, the site is depicted in orange, the al-Saad parking lots in gray (where the laborers play cricket every Friday), al-Saad stadium itself in green, perimeter walls of immediately adjacent ex-pat/upper class housing complexes in teal, and the traffic on al-Waab Street in purple. Finally, the presumed major entry point to the site for a walking laborer is shown with the dashed orange arrow.

In the bottom corner is a small diagram delineating the spatial relationship of the site to Villagio mall to the southwest and Souq Waqif to the northeast. The site is in the approximate middle of the path between the two.
