site-specific
Tailored to place
Site-specific describes something designed for or limited to a particular location.
Site-specific art is created for a specific place and loses meaning if moved elsewhere: The sculpture was site-specific, commissioned for the courthouse plaza.
In biology, site-specific refers to processes that occur at particular locations on molecules: site-specific DNA recombination.
