The “Manmade Vs Nature” is a summary of an abandoned industrial site where nature has started to reclaim its place. The site is characterized by its cold and brutalist appearance, with dark brickwork being its most prominent feature. The theme of “Freedom vs Limitation” is also evident, with numerous warning signs and barriers controlling the movements of those who choose to pass through the site. This highlights the conflict between man’s attempts to control nature and nature’s power to resist and reclaim its territory. Using a metaphysical approach, the site’s features are used as the thesis, while their opposite serves as the antithesis, resulting in a collage drawing that synthesizes these features to create an architecture that truly fits into its context.
