Basic introduction of The Okanagan Valley The Okanagan Valley is roughly 200 km long and 20 km wide. It lies between the Columbia and Cascade mountain ranges in southcentral British Columbia.

The history of The Okanagan Lake The glaciers left large deposits of gravel, silt, and sand on the bottom and sides of the valley. These sediments were eroded by water and wind, resulting in large alluvial fans (i.e., triangle-shaped deposits of sediment) and deltas such as those on which the cities of Vernon, Kelowna and Penticton partly stand; these sediments are now used for agriculture. The valley includes several lakes, all of which were once part of a large glacial lake. The largest of these lakes is Okanagan Lake. From east to west are Swan, Kalamalka and Wood lakes and to the south lie Skaha, Vaseux and Osoyoos lakes. The whole system drains south through the Okanagan River into the Columbia River.3

Lake size & shoreline The reasons for lake contraction DUH DUWLĂ&#x20AC; FLDO FRQVWUXFWLRQ DQG precipitation. The construction includes bridge, houses, farmland, and illegal docks. Since the nineties, annual rates of precipitation have decreased by100 mm. In addition, a comprehensive report about the lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoreline was completed in 2013, and the
results are alarming. The report reveals that 57% of the shoreline has been developed to various degrees; that means only 43% of the shoreline has been untouched. Carolina RestrepoTamayo of the Okanagan Collaborative Conservation Program says there has been a rate of change of up to 2% every year. Anna Warwick
Sears from Okanagan Basin Water Board says if this rate of change continues, almost all the shoreline of Okanagan Lake will be lost within one generation. Due to the lake expansion area is the edge of detachment zone, the detachment fault pushes the lake larger and shallower.1

The Site
The concept comes from the Qunli Stormwater Park in China.
The vision shows the relationship between urban, mountain, and green space. As you can see, the green space is built in the depression of urban area with a certain scale. The large size of green space ensures a more stable and stronger water storage subsystem. It can protect the existing wetland, the same time, the walkways inside it allow people enjoy the space by experience. Also, the big water-resilient green space becomes a patch and attract animals, to achieve ecological optimization.
Context The site I choose for my project is located at the city’s edge. It is next to a cliff, beside residential area and farmlands. As you can see, it is a complex and mixed-use district, which is connected to my case studies -- connectivity between different zones. It is close to the 33 highway, which is the optimum development direction at Kelowna. 7KH WRSRJUDSK\ DORQJ LW LV Á DWWHU DQG EURDGHU VR WKDW LW FDQ SURYLGH DQ appropriate region for urban growth.

Structure The project can divide into two parts: pathway and water square. The starting point of the pathway is next to the farmland, and ends up at the edge of the cliff; the water squares are built along the pathway, the height of the typography create levels and views. The shape of the water squares is straight lines intersecting at different angles. The shape and angles are all come from the form of the farmland.

The project creates a sense of dialogue with farmlands. The pathway which ends up at the edge of the cliff creates a bridge between the urban area and natural cliff. It providing a sense of the sublime, includes a sense of fear and a sense of pleasure.

Within one term we are required to think - Is it really possible or even desirable to rehabilitate this landscape? - What might be the visual forms the newly emerging landscape take? - Does the new landscape offer practical uses? - Which aesthetic-formal positions are available to us in this process?

The site I intervene is an abandoned quarry adjacent to Stony Mountain(a small community in Manitoba), whose shape has been an attribute to many events happened in the past. It means all the environmental and natural disaster and also human intrusions have made incessant change to this land.

Looking at the current landscape, one can see a free land with a variety of options to offer such as hunting, fossils and enjoying the view while sitting on the cliffs. That is to say, this is a land on which people can be creative in choosing their activities. A future intervention can be to keep this place undetermined by determining public places allowing for equal access and equal representation or a high degree of social and cultural inclusion.

Exploring the history of the quarry. In part 1 of the project, I am understanding the region through its historic character and geomorphology. I roughly divided the land into four main periods, they are the Ordovician period, Glacier period, Tallgrass Prairie period, and Mining period. The pictures concise the characteristics of different historical periods.
Mining period
The Glacial period
After discovering the near-surface limestone bedrock, people started mining this golden material to build their cities. The limestone is a sedimentary rock composed of Ordovician sea creatures shells and the chemical precipitate. Today, approximately 22% of the 2900 hectares Rockwood quarry area have been disturbed by mining. That is one of the crucial reasons behind the creation of many cliffs, terraces, grassland, shrubland, forest and desert-like land.10
During the late Ordovician, a series of glacial periods led to a mass extinction. This ZDV WKH EHJLQQLQJ RI WKH ´ELJ Ă&#x20AC; YHÂľ H[WLQFWLRQV RI WKH 3KDQHUR]RLF WKDW FDXVHG devastation of diverse marine ecosystems. Over a past million years, we had 5 glaciations, 2 lm of ice was going around to the top of Stone Mountain. Limestone was a surviving material which protected Stone Mountain from the previous glaciation.12
19
Tallgrass Prairie period
The Ordovician period
After the glacier, the Ordovician landscape converted into a prairie landscape which was caused by the deposition of parent material, (parent material is the soil in the form of unsorted sediment.) about 10,000 years ago. Consequently, deep levels of topsoil were a result of wind-dropped loess and organic matter accumulation. Animals such as bison, elk, deer, and rabbits added nitrogen to the soil through urine and feces. For 5,000 to 8,000 years, more than 240 million acres of prairie grasslands were a major feature of the landscape. Bison, livestock grazing, and cultivation breached tallgrass root systems, interrupted reproduction and ultimately led to collapsing prairies.11
Lasted 42 million years, from 485 to 443 million years ago, it was proceeded by the Cambrian period and followed by the Silurian. The biodiversity of the Paleozoic was at one of its highest points in the Ordovician. The early Ordovician was possibly dominated by the trilobites in a way that they were FRQVLGHUHG WKH DSH[ FUHDWXUHV RI WKH HUD 7KHUH LV DOVR HYLGHQFH WKDW WKH Ă&#x20AC; UVW ZLGHO\ RFFXUULQJ FRUDOV VHD VWDUV RUWKRSHGLFV DQG DOVR VRPH RI WKH Ă&#x20AC; UVW ODQG SODQWV OLYHG GXULQJ WKLV WLPH 'XULQJ WKLV period Stone Mountain was below the sea levels and everything.

Exploded Terraces Having the cliff at the entrance as a result of mining, gave me the idea of building a structure which illustrates the changes in the land. I decided to have concrete cubes in different sizes concentrated on the cliff and then distribute them to the abandoned quarry. So we can simplify the explosion needed to excavate limestone from the land. We chose concrete as our material, as it is a product of the limestone, and it also creates a pleasant contrast between the structures and the landscape itself.

The Glacier Garden and The Icebound Bridge For these two design, we recreated a landscape of Glacier period by using concrete. For the Glacier Garden, I designed the broken playful stages on the ground to imitate the characteristics of a glacier. In order to attract people to explore and play. For the Icebound Bridge, I created a concrete tunnel with arches and provide people a kind of illusion of walking through the ice tunnel.
