Research Proposal part 2

The writing is going well, and I'm learning so much from the reading I've been doing.  The submission deadline for my research proposal is looming, and this is where I have got to:


Academic Aim: 

To employ the site of the *** Hospital to extend my practice through an exploration of the fluidity of space, place and time.

Objectives:


To use counter-cartographic practices to map the hospital site, including lost sites and to identify what unrecorded data can be discovered in this process.

To collect and codify examples of subversion or reformulation of the planned elements of the site by patients and staff.

To create memorials to social memories about the site which capture the quality of locus.

To identify and communicate the messages of economics, social policy and health policy that are both written into, and read from the site.
