− | A somewhat forgotten, carelessly positioned ship anchor at the dock, suggests a deep significance for the site.

It almost says everything that needs to be said about the people, objects and buildings; their history, transformation and future potential/direction.

But in mere magnitude, it needs to expand; have more institutions and companies get involved, add start-ups, offer more space for them to take off once they're on their own.

Because "what cannot be measured, is a limitation in our measurement" ! Such a project, since will always provoke a strong reaction, negative or positive and never remain unacknowledged, may be a great stimulant for the site's redevelopment. | Because "what cannot be measured, is a limitation in our measurement" !
