MAIN ENTRANCE
FIRST INTERSECTION Once visioned for wildife rehabilitation after the industrial use of the aggragate quarry, it is assumed that the riparian edge and the man-made interference will coexist. A leftover of the City of Brantford, it is forgotten and tucked away at the borders. The site became a part of the city’s hiking trail network with its connection of the Grand Valley Trail, embracing along side the river. However the assumption of regrowth and revitalization of the wildlife has been interrupted by the impatient need of crossing through the meadow grounds directly, reaching the marvelous in a path lesser than the Trans Canada Trail.

UNDER THE CAVE
LONG SECTION along the path
SITE PLAN
The unplanned trail streches its way across the Cultural Savannah (CS) and Cultural Meadow (CM) communities, with little tree cover and dominant grasses and shrubs. This trail interrupts and reduces the territorial activity of the dominant White Tailed Deer. The species tend to remain in the Carolinian Forest, perfect for canopy shelter yet scarcely sourced for food due to the unfavorable ferns and wetland species the river supports.
09
The new park supports the circulation of the WhiteTailed Deer by hiding this unplanned trail using large overpasses, which also shelters this path to be the main artery of the site. The topography and vegetation communities of the site remain that determine the irregular insertions of the overpasses.

11 STRUCTURE AND SYSTEM ELEMENTS
BRIDGE The bridge is ecologically sustaining the Savannah vegetation community below. The main material is Fiberreinforced concrete, for higher durability, structural strength, higher resistance in cold temperatures and its slender, free-form appearance.
CAVE The Cave is the heart of the park, capable of providing all necessities for its visitors,whether for the journey ahead or on the way back. Built with steel tension members underground to create a double curved prestressed concrete shell that acts as an overpass for the deer above. The Cave requires little maintenance and uses natural lighting from the punctures above. 1- MAIN TRAIL
The all-purpose trail invites visitors to enjoy the wide sheltered path as they wish: cycling, jogging, walking, and more. The trail surface uses the same pre-stressed concrete as its roof structure for variation in curving ramps, yet smoothed to accomodate accessibility and the diverse activities the Cave hosts.
UPPER TRAIL Using pressure-treated decking, the trail continues due south by sitting lightly on its meadow grasses, allowing closer proximities to the local vegetation yet unfavored by the white-tailed deer.
LOWER TRAIL The lower tail starts in the second underpass of the same shell structure, spanning across to grow and accomodate vegetation species at risk as classified the Ontario conservation status rank. These include species that are not exotic nor present a weediness threat to the site, and are in categories S1, S2, and S3 - ranging from critically imperilled to vulnerable in Ontario and especially in the Brant County.
WALL The Wall is recognized by its long, span and its linear form which follows the existing topography of the site. Using the moved soil and the existing quarry aggregate materials to form a rammed wall, thus preserving its earthlike appearance with incredible compressive strength. All walls in the park uses the same construction method. 2 - PICNIC
A meter drop from the main trail brings the visitors a secret sanctuary for picnicking, perfect for large groups, families, or alone time. The picnic chamber provides both embedded seating for contemporary luncheons, and raised platforms for those who prefer the traditional sit-down lunches. 3 - BREAK
The resting space for everyone, which includes simple restroom facilities, water, and a seating and waiting area. 4 - OBSERVE
The only sheltered space where visitors can look out to the open through small openings, for chances to see the white-tailed deer passing through. The trail then enters through another wall, where the visitors can engage up close with the Savannah community in a 2 to 3 metre deep trench, seamingly absent from the wildlife above. The walkway offers occasional seating and wider decks and vegetational shading by the decidous shrubs and small trees.

This is where the bridge serves as the only entrance to the park without interfering with the wildlife below while able to experience similar settings.
The main bridge supports the Cultural Savannah (CS) community, where tree cover is 25 - 35%, dominated by grasses and shrubs.

BIRTH Fawns are born in late spring and hidden in vegetation while mothers go foraging 4 to 5 times a day for the first four weeks.
1 MO Spots begin to . disappear from their fur.
6 - 9 MO. Male fawns start to grow nobs, not yet spikes, on their heads.
1 - 12~24 MO. Fawns start to follow their mother to foraging trips for the duration of one year for males and two years for females.
18 MO. Males start to grow antlers, just before the ‘velvet’ starts to shed.
18+ MO. Females enter the estrus cycle in the fall where the male bucks compete for the oppurtunity.
ROUTE A simpler, direct access that leads to the Grand Valley Trail, lightly sitting 30 cm above groundcover for wildlife and vegetation to breathe.
Following the same structure as the Upper Trail, the path enters through a compresed setting created by the deer’s overpass.
HABITAT Both over and underpass supports the Cultural Woodland (CW) community of deciduous and coniferous shrubs and grasses.
The forests will continue thriving communities, including amphibians like the Snapping and Midland Painted Turtles, and birds such as the Redheaded Woodpecker.
DEER YARD Larger groups of deer come together in herds, called ‘deer yards’ in search for food and to conserve energy.

DIAGRAMMATIC PLAN Our collective opinion on how we presently live to inform our speculation of how we might live in the future. Experiences we drew from wandering around Toronto, New York, JiuFen (Taiwan) and Wieliczka (Poland) helped us determine that it is the unexpected, sublime, and subtle moments within each city which are forever stuck in our memories. In cities littered with mundanity and routine, we felt it was necessary to postulate on future implications of sacredness in our Temple City.

TRADITIONAL MARKET
ATMOSPHERIC SECTION When the city builds itself from a vertical core, it becomes the founding pilar of society. This is where traditional lifestyle is preserved, unchanged from the events outside these walls for centuries. With limited earth, the solution is to build up - however no matter how high it becomes, it nevers deviates from the city’s first streets down below. Cultural trading areas network outside into the towers and protects the very sacred routine of public bathing and self reflection. Without these public bath spaces, the city would be disrupted, confused and unsure of its identity. It needs to be protected.

The catharsis experienced by Zabriskie Point, has found itself embedded in the Temple City as a framing of the sky in an otherwise overpopulated and dense urban fabric.
“Though, at some point,
the profane becomes sacred and the sacred returns to be profane...� SACRED BATHING
PROGRAMMATIC SECTION
Stairs cutting in and out of multiple programmatic spaces at the same time, twisting in height. Trading and commerce placed in dense network that allows in plentitude and variety, every intricacy can be found if you have the will to look for it. It keeps on carving, growing deeper in detail. Then the same stairs, brings you into the common bath space.

Boulder is a small geologist research station nestled into a crack of a lime stone cave known as the Ear of Dionysius, located in Syracuse, Italy. Italy has copious amounts of underwater and underground caves in need of preservation and study, Boulder allows and promotes more of such activities. Boulder is composed of an assemblage of steel beams, columns, trusses, cables and spider connectors. The walls of the cave create the bounding walls of the research center, and the one-way mirrors on the facade allow for privacy on the interior and blend in the building by reflecting the surrounding landscape. The skylights on the ceiling capture the height and depth of the cave, replicating the cave atmosphere on all sides of research center.

The Curve Library can be seen as the only public accessible building where the whole community and the travellers beyond can truly enjoy themselves without limit. We need to unplug ourselves from the urban workaholic and into the natural landscape. Unlike the conventional buildings in this neighborhood, Curve provides attention to the park and encourages literature to be bound with the green life.
