reconnect
vancouver, canada [2009]
initial site research collaboration: daniel hapton + laura kozak
final design: individual
The SETTLEMENT[s] studio focused on urban patterns, and the creative integration of history, environment, infrastructure and urbansim. Centered around the Kingsway corridor, specifically the intersection of Kingsway and Knight street, the goal for my design was to create a series of pedestrian, bicycle and ecological corridors and green spaces which weave through the existing neighbourhood fabric, taking advantage of neglected spaces, laneways and empty lots. These green corridors are not restricted to the ground plane, and become a three-dimensional surface which can wrap up, around and over buildings, creating both visual and ecological connections.
