Metamorphosis?



Is it possible for the Truman Site to Metamorphose into something else?
Should original features remain as a lasting token to the building's original essence and soul, or should the spirit of the Brewery be set free to embark on a new journey and identity? Is it necessary or relevant to consider the external community who breathe life into the narrow alley ways and streets that perimeter the site?
These are perhaps grand questions, but this is a monumental site of cathedral like proportions. A certain level of courage might be required to affect a new personality on such a site, but the design students have the chance to implement a metamorphosis, and it is an enviable opportunity to have. This is perhaps the moment to forget individual inhibitions and to allow the transformation to happen - to blast energy and personal identity into the Truman Site so that it breathes with passion and life again.
