The site that I chose for this project is the Anne Frank House which is situated in 'Prinsengracht' (Prince's Canal) in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The reason why I chose this site is because of the isolation that Anne Frank faced while she was hiding from the Nazis.
Amsterdam has a cool oceanic climate and winter temperatures are mild, seldom below 0 °C. Amsterdam's average annual precipitation is less than 760 mm and most of the precipitation is in the form of protracted drizzle or light rain, making cloudy and damp days common during the cooler months of October through March.
During the brainstorming process, I came up with a story where the young woman is reading a letter written by her dead lover who were killed by the Nazis. However, she managed to hide herself and spent most of her days reading the letter written before her lover was killed. While reminiscing her rendezvous days with her lover, she would go to the rooftop to isolate and grieve.
