// Mosaic // Professor Cecelia Paine

Semester Community Design Winter 2017

Our concept is the green urban mosaic; working with the grid to create pocket areas for live, work and play in the community with open access to green space and public space for residents and community members. Our concept links the mosaic pieces together to create pathways and corridors to transverse the site, hopping from one mosaic piece to the next as you move from low density housing neighborhoods to mix use streetscape and to parks and open plaza. It is possible to cross the site through the green mosaic network on your way to work, to the bus or to the coffee shop. Team: Luozijie Xie Phyton Phthorรก Location New Toronto, Toronto, ON

Analysis after design • To ensure stormwater measure is implemented in green space by creating areas for stormwater infiltration in the green space pockets across the entire site. • To connect to adjacent community by creating road systems and several intersections. • To encourage pedestrian networks by connecting adjacent green mosaic. • To create a complete community for all ages of citizens by providing residences, employment and open space. • To create a multi-generation community by offering different housing type. 5

(Connection, Habitat and Regatta)

Professor Karen Landman

2nd Place OSSGA 2016 Student Design Competition

This concept combines themes of connection, habitat and regatta together to transform Burlington Quarry into a natural haven for both humans and native wildlife. To build those connections, the design calls for the construction of an education centre, a grandstand for sporting events, a conservation area, improvements to the surrounding trail system, and a realignment of the Bruce Trail system to allow visitation of the site’s rehabilitated habitats. Team: Luozijie Xie Michał Łaszczuk Stephen Maxwell O’Neill Location Burlington, ON

• CHR wants to create an education centre, which will connect people with nature, informing them about the Green Belt plan, the Niagara Escarpment plan, and Conservation Halton. A regional connection will also be established by bringing the Bruce Trail through the site. • CHR incorporates essential amphibian habitat, which is made up of wetland and woodland environments. This allows many amphibians, specifically the Jefferson salamander that has been located adjacent to the site, to complete their life cycle. Habitat is also incorporated into all of the built structures on site. • CHR contains a world class water sports facility used for regattas and will also provide a training site for Canadian athletes. The location of this facility is located close major urban centres in Southern Ontario, allowing for easier access for athletes.

The grand stand was designed to be a ecological structure. The side facing the rowing course was regular grand stand with shading shed. In the back of the structure, a linear cave was built up for swallows.

Semester Landscape Architecture I Winter 2016

This streetscape project aims to create a flexible space and highlight with circle shape, undulate patterns, unique materials and textures, as well as to enhance the overall quality of Willis Ways that starts from Caroline streets and ends at the facade of The Shops. As a path that connecting two distinct space, it will be a reflection of the union of old and new, private and public, soft green spaces and hard pavement, narrow (crowded) and open.

Semester Landscape Architecture I Winter 2016

The project aims to create a center node to connect existing green space and different types of people in the City of Waterloo by creating an interactive open space and an attractive green space. Also, it intends to build a public plaza showing Waterlooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history and present to citizens and visitors. Team: Luozijie Xie Location Waterloo, ON

The design aims to create a community for multi-generations. There are three types of housing type in the site, such as single houses for families with kids and extended families, medium density apartment and high-rise apartment building for students, singles and young couples. Each type of user would be able to use the public area in several ways.
