The goal of this text, which is nothing more than an articulation of the preoccupation on how to responsibly conceive of an architectural intervention, is to lay the foundation for a framework, a process for how to tackle an architectural brief. The infatuation with collective memory and place identity stems from an intuition of what qualities define a successful or interesting space. Seeming as the environment is a result of previous actions, it is intuited that whatever it is that defines a place is a result of the past, a historical notion, and hence the interest in preservation. The development of this interest leads to an exploration of several texts that delve into context as a generality, dealing with specific ideas of regionalism, the experiential (phenomenology), the political and economic paradigm (governmentality) and, with it, the actors (stakeholders) that influence the change in the environment.
