/ Revealing the Lost Creek
The black creek has changed several times in history. The historic pattern of the river is much more meandering than the present one. These changes are all caused by urbanization, and accumulated influence by historical development and surrounding environment. Therefore, the project aims to bring back the historic river through bringing back the flow of people instead of the flow of water. The channelized black creek functions as a flood mitigation. However, in the past, the river was curved and flowed randomly. Therefore, we want to let people know how free the historic river was.
As the existing flooding risk and programing, there are three zones on our site: recreation, restoration, relaxation. People can experience three different atmospheres and activities in these zones. Moreover, during flooding period, unique scenarios can be seen in these zones and provide the habitats for wildlifes.
