After a quick discussion with a friend and tutor it seems the best option/route to take with the site, is setting up the pit for a daytime clubbing event in such a way that I have to change the site in as little way as possible.
This photo is take from one of the very first secretsundaze events and captures the atmosphere I want to create perfectly. As it happens the dimensions of the dance-floor of this space are almost exactly the same as the "pit" on the site.
A more enclosed atmosphere, but the intensity and intimacy of the experience is still captured.
An initial idea (above) involved a little bit of landscaping to clean up the obscenely dirty site. However on reflection it seems more appropriate to leave it as found (below). As you can see the main addition to this site is the hoarding around the edge. The secrecy, and illusiveness of these sorts of gatherings is part of their attraction. Walking down a road, hearing the bass, hearing people, but almost completely unawares of where it is coming from. To add, even if you do know where it is coming from, trying to find the entrance adds to the anticipation.
