PROJECT BRIEF

THE AIM OF THE PROJECT IS TO REDEVELOP THE SITE, WHICH IS AN EXISTING SURFACE PARKING LOT TO A VIBRANT MIX-USE DEVELOPMENT WHICH INCLUDES A SMALL MUSEUM DEDICATED TO THE BOW RIVED PLACED ON IT. IT IS AN IMPORTANT LOCATION AS IT OCCUPIES AN IMPORTANT POSITION AS A GATEWAY INTO AND OUT OF THE DOWNTOWN AND IS AN IMPORTANT HISTORIC NODE WITH MULTIPLE PREVIOUS USES. THE RIVER PATH CONNECTS EASTWEST AT THE NORTH OF THE SITE, AND EVERY DAY, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE PASS BY OR THROUGH HERE.

THE CONEPT WAS BASED ON KEVIN LYNCH'S 5 ELEMENTS OF THE CITY, WHERE THE MUSEUM WAS MY LANDMARD LOCATION AND I CREATED DIFFERENT NODES AND PATHS WITH THE PLACEMENT OF THE MIX-USE BUILDINGS. THERE IS A MAIN PEDESTRIAN PATH ALONG WITH A BIKE PATH THAT GOES ALL ALONG AND INSIDE THE SITE. THERE ARE DIFFERENT KINDS OF PUBLIC SPACES CREATED THAT EACH PERFORM A DIFFERENT ROLE IN ACTIVATING THE SITE.
