Dwelling in the Public Realm Karen Wilson Baptist, Ted McLachlan, Liz Wreford Taylor Group - Vincent Tang, Heather Scott, Kristopher Mariash

Brief

Explore the spatial and detail design potential of the public realm of one urban block. All aspects of design are to explored from building massing and design to detail design of the urban landscape.

Named after the Greek god Janus, whom is represented with two faces, the site acts as a threshold between the urban core and the river. The project aims to revitalize downtown Selkirk, reconnecting the city to its historical waterfront. Transforming the area into a vibrant mixed-use district to promote economic prosperity and urban living as a vibrant, energetic hot spot, the project incorporates terracing buildings, a plaza, and a riparian boardwalk. The building design addresses the existing topography by terracing onto the waterfront, providing access from both points.

In essence, having “two faces” both with different characteristics to accommodate different social atmospheres.

The waterfront’s main plaza is a longitudinal stretch providing ample space for programmatic events to allow Selkirk to reconnect with its waterfront. A section of the plaza extends out onto the Red River to provide panoramic views across the river. The plaza is adaptive to the rising water levels. As water rises, a new water’s edge is established and the plaza becomes a new promenade river walk during the spring. This shifting of context allows the waterfront to maximize its potential, utilizing the topography and natural processes in its favour.

The Riparian Walk feature bioswales and vegetated channels which slowly collects, filters and infiltrates stormwater. This water recharges the water table and is released back into the river.

The site protects and restores riparian ecosystems. The project creates a relationship, connecting the city of Selkirk and its historical, cultural, ecological roots of nature that have existed in this landscape for a millennia.

Plaza Porous concrete is used on the sidewalks and the stretch plaza to allow for run-off to infiltrate into the soil rather being diverted to stormwater facilities.

Porous concrete also mitigates heat island effects by reducing the material’s heat retention through evaporation.

The stretch plaza has a sloped surface that allows the water run off to divert into the wet detention point.

The site is host to sustainable components addressing environmental issues. From storm water management, riparian habitats for local fl ora and fauna, and stabilization of the eroding fl oodplain, the waterfront becomes something integral to the

landscape, a functional attribute assisting in the longevity of the environment and its dwellers.

These elements work in unison to enhance the performance of social, economical and environmental interaction. It provides a platform for Selkirk to engage the waterfront

FLUX

Dwelling in the Private Realm Karen Wilson Baptist, Ted McLachlan, Liz Wreford Taylor Individual Explore in extreme detail the private realm of one family from the design of their dwelling interior through to their adjacent private/ semi-private landscape.

Conception of Flux revolves around the interplay between components that would compliment each other, exploring the idea of the threshold between building and surrounding context.

isometric drawing of Flux marker, graphite, on mayfair paper

Flux aims to develop a dialogue between the landscape and the built form. It aims to place individuals into a position to capture the essence of Flux. Flux faces the landscape, embracing its qualities, looking upon the series of bioswales, composed of native fl ora that have become adaptive to the waterfront’s natural watery process.

Stormwater management involves overfl ow pipes diverting water into the bioswales. The interlaced spaces slowly collect, filter, and clean water in a natural way. In the event of high rainfall, the water is collected here and slowly released into the river, allowing visitors to witness the dynamic fl ux of water.

VINCENT TANG l PORTFOLIO 2015 l MASTERS OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

The riparian forest acts a hub for native fl ora and fauna to thrive, creating a strip of great biodiversity and habitat, bringing back the wonderous ecosystem that was lost. During the spring and the onslaught of ice, the riparian forest becomes an integral sustainable barrier assisting in the preservation of the site by naturally blocking large pieces of ice from entering, preventing potential damage.

Summer Native fl ora and fauna energize the space, embracing the locals in a winding path through its natural vegetation. Below is a buffer strip of riparian forest where the walkway disappears into the canopy of trees. It opens up to the river where piers and docks house kayaks, canoes, and fishing boats for all the watery pleasures.

Spring The area fl oods, the bioswales engulf the rising water levels and the elevated boardwalk remains traversible forming a “walk above water�. Furthermore, the ice jams no longer prevail over the landscape during the spring. The natural barrier of riparian forest withholds the bombardment of large drifitng ice in a natural way of responding to the seasonal and changing dynamics of water in the site.

The adjacent landscape has a ecological niche.

With a system of bioswales and an elevated boardwalk, storm water is managed through a system of overfl ow pipes to regulate water levels.

In each successive bioswale, storm water gets progressively filtered through.

In spring, the overfl ow pipes divert water into the bioswales. They act as a series of natural levees to allow the boardwalk to be used all year round.

It possesses a responsive plan to the dynamics of water while becoming an ecological system.

Large amounts of drift ice move across this section of the Red River annually. As spectacular as it is, it is a main contributor to the erosion of the fl oodplain. A riparian forest is reintroduced onto the waterfront with temporary sturctures held in place to protect the forest until it grows into a large enough mass to counter the forces of the ice.

PARKING SPACE Parking space moved from the street frontage to behind the commerical strip to prioritize pedestrian accessibility.

NEW PEDESTRIAN CORRIDOR By creating buildings that have a better relationship to the sidewalk, new avenues of economic opportunity arise, including restaurants and cafes that have patios on the sidewalk.

This creates a pedestrian corridor with numerous amenities.

NEW STREET FRONTAGE Adding buildings to fill up the porosity of the commerical strip eliminates excessive parking lots. Wider sidewalks wth less breaks creates a greater street frontage and pedestrian experience.

NODES OF ATTRACTION Pergolas, cultural heritage center and the central gathering space all become attractions weaved within the forest of trees for the people to discover.

PLAZA AS CONNECTOR The plaza acts as a connector allowing for people to weave in and out from the plaza to the market stalls.

CIRCULATION Circulation is handled by formal pathways with specific pavings. A main axis connects the commercial corridor to the market, and linear paths to other areas.

The market design is composed of three gardens connected by a plaza. The plaza acts as a connector allowing the pedestrian to weave in and out of the gardens and market infrastructure.

Each garden produces unique atmospheres for unique places to gather and socialize. The “Butterfl y Gardens” planted with vibrant native plants attract birds and butterfl ies and pergolas offer a dynamic space for leisure. The main “Market Square” establishes an atmospheric quality of a canopy over the market.

Using tree canopies as infrastructure, it removes the need for large market infrastructure. The “Vegetable Gardens” has community gardens as well as “trellis-like houses” with climbing vines to provide workshops in unique infrastructure. In the end, “Unity” is a platform for the preservation and progression of the Farmer’s Market and St.Norbert as a whole.

Various native plants chosen for providing nector sources and host plants for the life-cycle of butterfl y colonies.

A NEW TWIST

The vegetated pergolas blend in with the cultural heritage site creating a new village type atmosphere with a “twist”. These plant dominated pergolas offer a wide range of amenties to occur and allow for a new exciting way for the people to engage with the cultural hertiage site of St. Norbert.

A radical exploration of analytical, conceptual, and socio-political aspects of urban public place in an experimental studio setting. The objective is to search for urbanisms which respond creatively and dramatically, creating new morphologies where landscape and urbanism, and complex social dimensions collide.

Current site condition is an overflow surface parking lot. A competition of factors is determined to be the culprit behind its unfulfilling present purpose. The site acts more like an urban eyesore rather than a confl uence point its prime location can attribute itself to be.

Unconventional analysis of the site consisted of a paper assemblage collage that represented the historical, political, and contextual infl uences in an imaginative narrative to tell the story of the site. Through exploration, it is realized that the space is composed of both physical and invisible forces that attribute to its complexity.

Therefore, the medium of collage is used to look at the site from a different perspective, using storytelling to analyze the spatial condition in an imaginative way. The conclusion detailed how the evolution of technology shaped our urban fabric, that the transition from the train to the personal vehicle shaped how we perceive and construct our landscape.

“Collage inherently emphasizes process over product, offering the potential for a multiplicity of readings while re-conceptualizing threedimensional space. This ambiguity creates opportunities for multivalence and responds to the richness and complexities extant in sites and cities.�

Through the analysis, the narrative captured how the evolution of technology changes the urban fabric, our lifestyles, and thus our urban public spaces. The project aims to explore the emergence of the digital age and how the infl ux of telecommunications acts as a catalyst for change.

As the industrial revolution forced the separation of home and workplace, the digital revolution is bringing them back together as many tasks can now be done in cyberspace. Widespread adoption of digital technology is the next catalyst for change in our urban fabric.

While the industrial age is characterized by the prioritization of transportation, causing large monofunctional urban blocks, emptying of downtown and urban sprawl, the digital revolution can remedy this separation. Physical space is no longer a neccessity to offer amenities like shopping, visitng a bank, etc. Thus, new building types emerge, regrouping housing and workplaces together, allowing the city to reclaim its urban density. The embrace of technology in our urban landscape cascades down to how streets, urban places, and public places are forever changed. The project explores this new age.

18

OVERLAY is an urban cluster that demonstrates how the digital age affects not only the built form, but also social, economical, and environmental constructs. The site features a digital plaza, and surrounding self-sufficient neighborhoods. The idea of the plaza is to act as a spine, connecting the city and the river through pedestrian travel and creating a pedestrian entrance to the Forks.

The digital plaza acts as a large electronic meeting place where the plaza is host to digital art installations for the public. The plaza extends out to the Red River, connecting the city and river together through pedestrian travel.

Attractive digital facades provide artistic individualism and well as allows people to tap into the global market. The digital interface allows merchants from around the world to sell in the urban cluster and vice versa.

As the digital world can replace physical space, more space can be allocated for leisure and pleasure as well as environmental constructs.

Courtyards in the neighbourhoods offer residents with diverse, attractive, and ecological spaces.

The digital age will not create entirely new urban patterns from the ground up but rather begin by morphing existing ones. The era of electronically extended human beings link the physical and virtual worlds together, forming mutant architectural forms that emerge from the recombination of traditional architectural types, and of an adaptive and regulating city that works smarter, not harder.

As ecosystem destruction continues to rise, the answer to how we fix an ecological problem may lie within technological advancement. In this emergent future, natural systems have been degraded to a point where they cannot heal by themselves and are broken down and damaged enough to no longer be able to produce for the demands of the growing populous. And so we turn to new nature... nature enhanced, recreated, and reimagined through technology, genetic modification, and or other innovations achievable through technology.

The design addresses six major concerns of the emergent future; with the intervention of how waste water is managed, the preservation of

Dealing with river systems and its inherent influence on its context from riverbank erosion, social activities, culture/history, economical value, ecological relevance, etc., the main strategies are derived to provide solutions to the present issues that plague the site. Thus, the strategies include; preventing riverbank erosion that satisfy economical, social, and ecological desires, promoting interaction with water using

multiple access points and pathways designed to be accessible in all seasons and water levels, using a resilient design to minimize operational/ maintenance cost by utilizing river bottom forests’ and floodplain’s natural functions rather than conventional storm water infrastructure, and improving wildlife habitats with the reestablishment of the river bottom forest ecosystem. All these strategies aims to create a jewel that embraces the theatrics of water by viewing water as the site’s most powerful activator.

In the remediation and erosion prevention, the oversteepened slope is reinforced with gabion walls and toped with a walkway, forming a gabion reinforced boardwalk.

The reasons for using gabion for the stabilization of the riverbank is that gabion reinforcement provided not only the structural integrity, but are also aesthetically and economically positive. Some benefits to using gabion are; it has a rapid construction process, more economical and greener than concrete, can be installed

In the redevelopment of Crescent Drive Park, a mixed use development is placed on the corner of the site. This is used to establish a permanent residency within the park. The mixed use development will feature amenities within the immediate area of Crescent Park in order to supply the visitors to the site as well as build neighborhood identity through a local economy. These residential units provide homeowners with a view across the dense tree canopy of Crescent Park.

In events of high sedimentation, the shapes of these landforms push water down the middle channel, which can cause sedimentation along the edges of the channel water flows, thus creating natural levees. Once again, the dynamic of landscape manipulated by water arrives again.

Cut/Fill Landforms are landforms that feature a depression as well as an elevation. These large areas provide expansive vantage points across Crescent Park. The depression areas are lined with small gabion cells with wood coverings to provide ample seating. The form of the depression creates an amphitheatre-like setting, in which the space can provide for large gatherings for performances. When the spring flood comes in, the depression slowly fills with water, thus, these landforms

change shape and provide a unique landscape to interact with during seasonal changes. In winter, these depressions can hold water pumped in via a pump station and allowed to freeze, providing large skating rinks within Crescent Park.

Lookout Towers extend outwards to the Red River, providing unique vantage points. These lookout towers are made of corten steel, which weathers under the fluctuations of the water levels. Thus,

The elevated boardwalk allows for visitors to experience the park wet or dry, summer or spring, to allow for a place to be truly accessible throughout the seasons.

Crescent Park is envisioned as a true green space beside the Red River. The park

encapsulates the design for inland flooding, in which the areas within the park is identified to undergo annual spring flood.

The ideology for the park revolves around three steps; accept, store, and discharge.

Certain areas within the park undergo extensive grading, which is implemented to move water to landscapes designed to receive water. Crescent Park aims to reestablish the Riverbottom Forest ecosystem, creating a riparian buffer for wildlife as well as natural plant

propagation. These landscapes are designed to improve water capture which heavily feature natural vegetation. The reestablishment of Riverbottom forest with proper understory restores the riparian areas natural hydrologic functions. The grading throughout Crescent park follows the ideology of a water park, a landscape that is not only shaped by water, but can accept, store, and discharge water.

The landscape features a system of uncompacted, vegetated, shallow channels

and depressions for water storage on a temporary basis, maximizing time water spends in detention.

In the end, Crescent Drive is envisioned as a water park, a landscape manipulated by water. The park is aimed to demonstrate the theatrics of flux within our urban river system. As unique as the situation is, the park aims to be exemplary of conscious design in regards to the site’s most powerful activator, the annual spring flood. As the

spring flood comes in, the landscape is repeatedly nourished, a necessity to ensure the longevity and prosperity of the riverbottom forest. Crescent Park is about a place that welcomes water and embraces it. Crescent Park plays with water to create unique spaces throughout the year. As each cycle and fluctuation within the water levels, Crescent Park activates and reactivates, it becomes a park made by water, a water park.

SITE PLAN OF RIVERVIEW CENTRE

The current state of the Riverview Health Centre involves a centralized configuration of various facilities along with an internalized circulation system for vehicles. The majority of the landscape of Riverview Health Centre are open and maintained lawns with mature trees. While the internal circulation network aims to keep vehicular traffic at a minimum, the addition of many roadways and fragments the landscape into ‘pockets’ of open lawn. Also, the Riverview Health Centre has developed a mandate to pursure therapy using 34

While a great mandate indeed, the grounds of Riverview Helth Centre leaves something more to be desired.

The vision for the landscape is a collage. How each space has distinctive characteristics and prioritize certain experiences yet each work in unison to provide the ultimate goal of being a healing landscape.

The healing landscape takes the idea of the patient and looks at the community as a patient as well in terms of creating a welcoming space that creates interaction and bolsters community identity.

The permaculture approach can look at the land itself as a patient, creating landscapes that are healthy and help nurture patients of Riverview as well as providing stronger ecological habitats for various animals.

‘Disturbance’ is a short film based on the perception of how people move through the city. By animating the perspective of how we percieve our citites in a car-dominated society, the film aims to ignite a different vision of the city; a vision where intangibles and nuances of the streetscape - or the ‘arteries’ of the city - are recreated in a new way, to facilitate a new experience of moving through the city of Winnipeg.

Winner of First Place at the 2015 Architecture and Design Film Festival - Archishorts Competition “Disturbance views the vehicular inhabitants of the city as a ‘parasite’ that activates the city, it turns the city on and off, it inhales and exhales, it flows and it stops.”
