A Wax Museum sounds interesting and I wish you luck! Melting Architecture, an interesting thesis indeed

Yes, you will definitely need to find maps of manilla, and identify transport routes, tourist hotspots, topographical features, weather data etc for your site analysis. Your college should be able to advise you where to get accurate maps, while the tourist information office, bus station etc will probably have transport maps, tourist maps and so on.

I somehow doubt you will need to identify the water and sewerage network for your site. I would concentrate on finding a site that offers some sort of design challenge and then build up an argument for why your Wax Museum is perfect for that location.

thank you very much mr. lekizz for you reply i really appreciate it.

i see so firstly i will look for a site that will give me a design challenge. and then the criteria for site selection just follows..

what kind of design challenges in the site do you think i should look for.. here in manila its pretty flat..

and one more question.. can i get any site even if there is already something on it or should i look for a vacant site.. im just confused..
