1.1 The Ecology of Public Urban Space (Thesis Project)

Scale: Th e environmental crises is of global scale. Th e solution; however, lies in the individual understanding their role in the ecosystem, and having an awareness of their resources and consumption.

Challenge: Urban design is a tool which can enhance our quality of life by making us aware of our surrounding resources and by encouraging our public lives to unfold in exciting and meaningful ways. Th is project sets out to search for sustainable urban solutions which rest in the fi rst level of human identity. Th e solutions will create a basic awareness and interaction with ecosystem resources in public space.

2. The City as Assemblage [Secti on]

This project sets forth that humans are most aware of their surroundings

when the layers of the urban-natural ecosystem collapse or combine in

unexpected ways. Assemblages allow these clashes to occur in a way

which creates aff ordances in the urban fabric, and exposes systems.

1. The City as Sequence [Plan]

The sequence of events, through the public realm considers the

choreography of users, and evaluates factors which ‘draw’ people to

places. Varieti es of fl ows and interacti ons must occur to create the

necessary dynamics for civic life.

Study - Urban and Rural Ecosystem Components

Proposal: Th e goals of the public space ecology are to create accessible places for everyday life, and to give an experience of natural resources and infrastructures in the urban environment. Th e natural system which the project will expose is the changing seasons. Th e components are vegetation, water, and soil. Exposing these components seasonal changes will be accomplished with two main strategies.

Benefi t: Th e creation of event spaces, areas for temporary kiosks, movement routes, gardens, public kitchens, an interpretive centre, are a few of the infrastructural demands.

Page 5: Portfolio

Th e public space along Scheelegatan is formed by these infrastructures, draws, and supporting population and the public space ecology is formed. Various moods, and sett ings have been created from the multiple demands, and the spaces adapt from a daily life pace, to the exciting pace of the festival. Th e proposals aff ect and add to the site overtime. Th e analysis in Malmö provided insight to the draws which att ract people through the neighbourhood. Th e same analysis was created for the site, and for the site during two times of the year, during the festival and post-pre festival.

Specifi cs: An underpass landscape gives the opportunity for people on the path to experience the forest fl oor. Narrowing the street by planting a young forest beside the cemetery forest give the opportunity for a unique experience and perspective of the

changing forest. A daywater system along the street strategically fl oods, changing the urban landscape during periods of high rains. Th e creation of a leveled, public square gives a fl exible space for meeting throughout the year.

2.1 Negoti ati ng MorphologyLocati on : Beijing, China • Study Trip : Beijing, China • Study Trip : Berlin, Germany • Design Workshop : Shenzhen, China

Scale: Th e former Olympic Park in Beijing is now mostly open space in a central location. Th e city of Beijing sees 500,000 new inhabitants every year, and the demand for housing is strong. Th e site is subject to complex interactions of ‘local’ and ‘global’ forces.

Challenge: Th e creation of a housing area on the former Olympic site brings the challenge of creating intimate public spaces on a vast site, and which would be required to be a dense urban development.

Proposal: Th is proposal aims to create a strategic plan which is in an ongoing process of negotiation. A strategic plan is created

giving identity to diff erent areas of the site. Each identity is given a framework which developers must work within.

Th is framework will give program concentration to the lots, and a degree of spacial uniformity. Each lot on the site has the opportunity to be negotiated with regard to it's architectural rules. Developer desires such as extra fl oor space, or added height, are exchanged for benefi ts given back to the community in the form of public space. Th is is not a simple space-for-space exchange, but rather the creation of a high-quality public space, in exchange for more development freedom.

3.1 Producti ve Urban Connecti onsLocati on : Landskrona, Sweden • Study Trip : Edinburgh, Scotland and Belfast, Northern Ireland

Vision Image - Agricultural Corridors Vision Image - Interesti ng Streets

Regional Plan - Landscape and Urban Relati onship Landskrona Plan - Landscape and Urban Relati onship

Scale: Th e project began with creating a regional strategy to identify the role of Landskrona within the Öresund region. Th e project then called for a design intervention beginning at the Landskrona station.

Challenge: Th e multi-cultural city is challenged with issues of urban decay, and the temptations of forgett ing the old city. Th e city currently has an unfavorable reputation in the region, however, has the potential of a potent agricultural landscape, proximity to the ocean and a multi-cultural population. Its position in the centre of the region makes it att ractive for commercial activity.

Proposal: Th e proposal creates a “Landskrona” brand for products produced in the municipality. Th e urban design then introduces strips of agriculture into proposed mixed-use streets. A new market area at the station is a node on a strong main street axis leading to the old central city.

Benefi ts: Th e design gives a strong identity to Landskrona and encourages development which benefi ts current residents, while also att racting people to the area. Urban agriculture promotes cultural education, and an exciting urban environment.

Plan View - Additi on of Three Urban Elements

Scale: Th e fi rst section involved a study of a route in Malmö. Th e site was then chosen as an area that could become a stronger neighbourhood point along the path.

Challenge: Th e 3 distinct typologies, residential, park and industrial, are separated physically and psychologically. Th e industrial area has the opportunity to be densifi ed.

Proposal: Th e proposal introduces 3 elements to the area, urban green, urban dwelling and urban organizer. Th e organizer is an undulating path or furniture, literally connecting the three areas.

Urban dwelling is introduced by wrapping around the vast, unused facades and roofs of warehouses. Urban green enters as roof boxes, or street boxes, which users can place to defi ne their own spaces.

Benefi ts: A community which maintains all of its current functions arises. Workers in the area have a more pleasant atmosphere, and place is created for new business.

Higgins and Annabelle : 27-37

Scale: Th is project began with meetings with the non-profi t group, Aboriginal Community Centre, or ACC. Th ey have 2 planned projects in the neighbourhood and were looking for strategies to further revitalize the inner-city neighbourhood.

Challenge: Urban decay in the area means that land and property are currently inexpensive. Th e ACC wants to maintain control of development in the area, but also increase interest in the area, without pushing out current residents.

Proposal: Th e Local Node proposal details the importance of creating strong corners in the neighbourhood. A three phase plan, outlining the most strategic corners to obtain is created for a thirty year period. Th e strategies also include the densifi cation of the neighbourhood.

Benefi ts: Th e ACC has a strategy of for future development. It generates interest from outside groups, and the city, while giving a strong neighbourhood base to current users.

Existi ng Decentralized Plan 25 years 50 years

75 years 100 years Proposed Decentralized Plan

Scale: Winnipeg lies in a prairie region and therefore, has the opportunity to spread. Beginning with a regional strategy, an att empt to create a sustainable, de-centralized city was created.

Challenge : Th e benefi ts of decentralization for the area meant greater accessibility of rural residents to essential services and community events. Th e challenge was to fi nd a way for a de-centralized city to be sustainable.

Proposal: Studies of historic development reveals the cities reliance on reading the landscape. Th e city then introduces the urban functions based on the position in the landscape which suits.

Benefi t: Th e prairie landscape is respected during the development process. Th e effi ciency of architecture increases as it no longer fi ghts against natural elements but rather tunes itself with the site systems.

Scale: A renovation design and construction project for a 200m2 cabin on Lake Manitoba in Canada.

Challenge: Th e challenge was for the design of a four season renovation in an extreme climate. Th e renovation was to maintain the feel of the family cabin, while providing a modern renovation and increased energy effi ciency. My partner and I also carried out all of the construction work while living on site, including electric work, and plumbing.

Unwind Labyrinth

Scale: Landscape Design. Th e Architecture Building at the University of Manitoba was to renovate the courtyard.

Challenge: Th e challenge was to research the “Labyrinth” and to design an interpretation of the idea for the courtyard.

Proposal: Th e proposal features two converging spiral paths leading to a common centre where there is a stone hearth. Each path has a winter wall of stone, and a summer wall of chainlink for growing creepers. One wall appeals to the summer, and one to the winter.

Benefi t: Th e labyrinth provides a walking path to unwind, and also provides common space for students to sit together or alone. Th e labyrinth can be used year round.

9.1 Exhibiti on Design

[a] 2000 [b] 2008 [c] 2020 [d] Components are recycled from the many layers of time.

URBAN STRUCTURE

“BY RECYCLING URBAN COMPONENTS WE CAN REFINE EXISTING STRUCTURES TOWARDS SUSTAINABILITY.”

Urban components can be studied to understand their qualities. The components can then be re-arranged or re-programmed. Layers begin to emerge in the urban landscape, when new components are not superimposed, but rather depend on the forms before them [d]. Urban recycling creates a dynamic urban transformation that incorporates history, and while at the same time creating a structure for the future of the city [e]. Materials can be re-used in new and unexpected ways leading to savings in their invested energy. New activities can emerge from a variety in material combinations. Spaces can be re-used for new programs leading to savings in walls and forms of the city. New perspectives of urban living emerge from variation and excitement in the city.

[e] New urban morphologies are created when new demands for typologies are added within the existing site infrastructure.

STRUCTURES AND PUBLIC SPACES SHOULD BE ADAPTED TO BE ACCESSIBLE FOR WALKING, BIKING AND PUBLIC TRANSIT.

In October, 2009, students from Lund University in Sweden, and Peking University in China collaborated to create proposals for the post-Olympic site in Beijing, China. Meeting in Shenzhen, China, they created a workshop to discuss the future of environmental and architectural strategies for the site. The three square kilometer, 2008 Olympic site is located in the north of Beijing. Today it is mainly used for visitors to the Olympic buildings and for some office complexes. The future of the site is still under debate. The first result of the workshop was the creation of six proposals addressing the future of the site. The various creative strategies focused on reinstating the site as a dynamic component of Beijing’s urban growth. In this exhibition, you will find images of designs and strategies taken from these proposals. These visions pertain not only to post-Olympic sites, but also to other worldwide events which place incredible demands on urban infrastructure. What happens to these places when the crowd has left? The categories Urban Structure, Urban Landscape and Urban Life note three of our main challenges as designers, and have been considered in relation to the Beijing Olympic Park. The second result of the workshop was the experience of an interdisciplinary and international workshop. Students from over 13 nationalities participated and the design discussion that was shared exposed each designer to new perspectives that they will take with them into their future practice.

Interdisciplinary groups researched ways to transform the Olympic park.

A panel of professionals from Sweden and China reviewed the proposals.

The international group of students and professionals met in China.

BEIJING OLYMPIC PARK

POST-OLYMPICSFROM THE SPACES OF THE EVENTTO EVERYDAY PLACES

Sun City The Olympic park is located at the northern part of Beijing and the city’s main axe crosses it in the middle and ends up to the forest park. This place where one year ago was built for a big event has a lot of visitors from locals, around Beijing and around the world now. But sun effects on meeting spaces in summer and winter times, lots of vacant lands around the site and two wide roads at eastern and western sides are the some of the problems it has.Connecting to the edges, de ning speci c meeting points in smaller scales and considering sun in different seasons and as a big source of renewable energy are the main ideas to improving the existing situation.

LANDSCAPE SYSTEMS SHOULD BE INTEGRATED WITH URBAN SYSTEMS TO CREATE A DENSE AND DYNAMIC FABRIC AND A GREENER URBAN HABITAT.

Human beings are at the center of an urban life where the balance between environment, social life and economics is revealed in the everyday. New technology and natural systems are used to improve energy efficiency, and improve the quality of life for inhabitants [a,d]. The combination of commercial, workplace, home, and public spaces creates a dynamic and vibrant meeting place – both for everyday and temporary visitors [b]. Creating attractive, comfortable, and safe public places, with a variety of movements and features, inspire people of all ages to explore and enjoy[c,e]. On post-event sites, it is crucial to allow interaction between visitors and residents. This promotes a stronger community through more ‘eyes on the street.’ It promotes multi-cultural interactions, allowing visitors and residents to learn from each other. The result is a globally accessible city, with locally grounded communities.

[a] Variation in movement and activities creates possibilities for encounters on urban streets.

[d] Urban agriculture motivates residents to engage with and take responsibility for their environment.

[e] Variety in play spaces encourages exploration and learning.

[c] Sub-dividing the larger landscape creates a comfortable atmosphere for different purposes.

URBAN LIFE

“SEEING AND INTERACTING WITH EACH OTHER, THAT IS THE BASIC JOY OF PUBLIC SPACE. GREETING FRIENDS AND MEETING NEW ONES, THAT IS LUXURY.”

URBAN LANDSCAPE

[c] Water systems and vegetation give form to the urban places.

[b] Natural systems benefit the city in various levels and during various times of year.

The urban components are studied not in isolation; but are seen as a dynamic mix. Scales, types, and methods of landscaping are combined and layered [b]. The landscape changes as it grows. During different seasons, the landscape has new sights, smells and sounds. The urban landscape becomes a hybrid where built and growing forms do not compete with each other, but rather depend on each other to create unique and livable places. The form of the city is defined by plants and water as well as by buildings [c]. Ecosystem services and systems are introduced both for their utilitarian functions, but also for creating a vibrant public space where one can learn and play in an exciting, healthy environment [a]. Using materials and systems to serve more than one purpose leads to sustainable urban landscapes.

[a] Cleaning and storing water, acting as a habitat for plants and animals; the water is a functional system as well as an urban feature.

“THE NATURAL SYSTEMS CAN BE UTILIZED AND CELEBRATED.”

10.1 Community Planning and Design

Planet Drum Reforestati on

In the city of Bahia de Caraquez, Ecuador I was part of a reforesta-tion volunteer team. Th e work involved tree planting and care, the maintenance of lots.

Working together with residents, various sustainable practices were experimented with in the city, including the creation of a protected green space.

Spence Neighbourhood Community Gardens

Th e community gardens are located in an inner-city neighbourhood. Th e multi-cultural neighbourhood uses the public garden spaces to reclaim derelict sites in the area from delinquent uses.

Th e garden spaces were organized and designed so that the maximum number of residents could benefi t, including considerations such as ergonomics of the beds for seniors and children.

Th e design of garden signage, outlining signage text, images and information, and the physical design of its structure, appropriate to an area prone to vandalism, was included.

Th e tool bank, a public library for garden utensil lending, was also a part of the project, as well as water barrel design, construction and maintenance and consultation on the neighbourhood Green Map project.

Point Douglas Community Centre Workshop

Th e Point Douglas Community Centre and the City Planning department at University of Manitoba came together to create a workshop with students at St. John’s high school. I designed and carried out the workshop along with 3 colleagues.

Th e workshop included a discussion about what a “community centre” means to our culture, mapping excersises, and modelling excersises. Around 20 students, and 2 teachers took part.

Th e input from the workshop was then used to create design propos-als which were presented to the Community Centre Board.
