Abstract

Having lost its productivity, MMC became isolated from its context. Most of its links to neighbour and region broke as a result of its changing role. A series of dilemmas
mainly exists as social conflicts and spatial conflicts appeared around the
border as result. However, as the carrier of social conflict in MMC and witness of colonial war, the enclosed border embraced the introverted character of MMC, which is its site spirit in the history. When the introverted character of site encounters the demand of connection, how to re-link MMC to the neighbourhood while protecting its site spirit turns into the main problem to be solved from my perspective.
