PLANNING
BRIDGELAND REDEVELOPMENT PLAN (ARP) Programs // SketchUp AutoCad Adobe Illustrator Photoshop ArcGIS The Bridgeland-Riverside Community Association (BRCA) identified the need for a comprehensive plan that can address existing and forthcoming issues in neighbourhood land use and development. The plan being presented has been completed via a combination of background policy and precedent research, thorough site analysis, and comprehensive engagement with relevant stakeholders and the public. The project was carried out in an academic setting, however, has a dual purpose. The recommendations being made in it are concrete, in accordance with municipal and provincial policy, and for the BRCA to use in the future when approaching land use and development issues.

DESIGN CONCEPTS Our concept vision is to take the opportunities derived from public engagement and site analysis to develop a future Bridgeland that is greener, better connected, appropriately developed, and accessible to those of all socioeconomic backgrounds. The full document outlined in detail how we plan to achieve these aims with a combined focus on parks and open space, connectivity, commercial corridors, and residential.

Southbank-South Melbourne // U r b a n S y s t e m s Programs // SketchUp AutoCad Adobe Illustrator Density is often used as a unit by which communities are measured in the field of city planning. However, a community’s character is the result of much more than the number of people living in it, or the height of it’s buildings. The following analysis of Southbank and South Melbourne not only examines the various measures of density in these communities, but also how this effects the character of these spaces, as well as other determinants which result in a neighborhood’s quality.

SketchUp AutoCad Adobe Illustrator ArcGis Through intensive and specific analysis, consultation and design, we created an Area Structure Plan (ASP) for a greenfield development on the northern boundary of Calgary. This was a semester long project that concluded with the submission of a written document and presentation. All policies and design choices were informed by relevant and applicable regional documents, in order to develop this area in the most context sensitive and progressive way possible.

WEST MELBOURNE STRUCTURE PLAN (PSP) Programs // SketchUp AutoCad Adobe Illustrator ArcGis This Precinct Structure Plan (PSP) delineates a 30 year vision for West Melbourne. The Plan Area is +/- 85 hectares and bounded by Victoria Street to the North, Railway Place to the West, La Trobe Street to the South, and Peel Street to the East. The precinct of West Melbourne is adjacent to North Melbourne, City North Urban Renewal Area, E-Gate, and the Melbourne Central Business District. As such, it is facing significant pressure for renewal and densification. The West Melbourne PSP aims to provide guidance through the redevelopment process. The West Melbourne PSP and the policies contained within it are aligned with and reflect the values voiced in the Community Engagement Workshops held by the City of Melbourne in AprilMay 2015. Their primary objective is to ensure development occurs in a sustainable manner.

URBAN DESIGN
DYNON MASTER PLAN Programs // SketchUp AutoCad Adobe Illustrator ArcGis Rhino Photoshop Conceptual reinvigoration of a former industrial site, located 15km west of Melbourne’s city center. The project aimed to introduce progressive ideas to develop the site in a sustainable and context appropriate way. The site was developed with a primary focus on the pedestrian experience. Our goal was to increase non-motorized multi-modal connectivity within the site, through connections to existing regional pathway systems and a green belt that intersects the site. In developing this project, another objective was to incorporate productive agriculture into a variety of housing types. Incentivized growth and maintenance of cellulous rich agriculture will be converted into bio-ethanol within the site itself. Up to 1,115.04 tons of raw agricultural material can be grown within the site, allowing for the production of more than 364,000 liters of bio-ethanol per year. The fuel is then used in the residential buildings within the site as a more sustainable and cost effective heat source.
