BOW RIVERFRONT TRAIL

Finding Lost Spaces

The Memorial Drive corridor along the Bow River is a unique urban landscape that requires immediate attention. The goal is to assess the quality of space along the Bow River and recommend the top five locations to access the river’s edge. Landing and reading the landscape begins with analysing the structure of a spatial layout, employing appropriate urban design elements (district-edge-path-node-landmarks), and the observer’s characteristics. A journey through memory, infrastructure, environment, and recreation that understands, analyses, or evaluates both the space and the observer’s characteristics. The aim is to create a transformative vision of all the underutilised spaces into a thriving riverfront that can offer the adjacent community a new set of potential activities to engage in.
