My reaction to the specific site.

It’s true that, upon visiting the grandstand for the first time, I knew nothing about it. It was exactly for this reason that I tried to stop myself from creating ideas to use for the assessment and it became clear that even though I hadn’t heeded my own advice, I should have.

What I imagined I would feel from the inside of the building was: death, loss, fall from grace etc. when in reality it is fairly welcoming when you get used to how empty it is. In stark contrast to the silence, rust and forbidden areas of the outside the inside seems to stubbornly hold onto it’s former glory.

It is the contrast that I am now most interested in. I would be very happy if I could come up with an aesthetically interesting performance which reflects the Inside/outside, cold/warm, old/new feeling that being in and around the Grandstand gives me
