A STORIED LANDSCAPE
Under the Revised Stoney Industrial Area Structure Plan, North Nose Creek is set to see intense and transformative development. Yet, in our haste to write a new story, we run the risk of many more irrevocably being silenced. Nose Creek holds important parts of our cultural heritage. Even without a comprehensive inventory, within the area, about 100-150 pre-contact and historic period sites have been recorded.
This proposal acts as an expression of contemporary place-keeping and place-making, leveraging development to elevate stories embeded within the landscape and its communities by providing tangible stages and platforms for real engagement and presence.

ADVANCED URBAN PLANNING STUDIO
The product of focused development in a group of 3 Landscape Architecture students and 4 Planning students, this project engaged new and emerging tools guiding urban development in urban areas around the world. Using a human focused, Baukultur approach, our aim was to create a complete community informed by the area’s current condition and character. My role was in detailed and landscape design, and rendering scenes that convey the experiences we wish to facilitate with our design.

MAKERS2
The lives lived and the land uses established in the areas of Inglewood and Ramsay have been oriented around creative and productive activities. As the neighbourhood has evolved from an industrial, working class community to a funky, bohemian neighborhood, the types and scale of productive and creative activities have changed, but the spirit of making remains. Today, the many creative enterprises that have taken root in Ramsay contributed to its diversity, liveliness and granularity.
Makers2 seeks to preserve and amplify this vibrant mix of living and making, and to script its stories into the space. Design language that draws from its industrial heritage and distinctive creativity strengthens sense of place. The layout can be conceived of as a continuum of community to Makers’ Hub orientation, struck through down the middle by spaces oriented around bridging the two as the stage where makers and community members can interact, engage and create dialogue.
