[ PROJECT BRIEF ] The intersection of Portage Avenue and Main Street is said to be the most famous intersection in Canada. The current state of the intersection has made it unclear why it has built this reputation.

The intent of the project is to analyze and understand the form, function, and context of the intersection and produce a tactical urbanist design that addresses one or more of its current issues. The barricades placed on the site have hindered the experience for pedestrians. The project aims to redesign Portage and Main to function more efficiently for not only pedestrians but also different modes of transportation, at the same time creating a much more memorable experience for the visitors.

TRANSFORMING THE BARRICADES PORTAGE & MAIN

RE-USE & RECYCLE ON-SITE MATERIALS

- mike satiada

Portage and Main is an iconic intersection with quite a historical background.

Although it is known as an iconic intersection, the feeling of being on the site doesn’t live up to its expectations. This may be due to the barricades that have circulated the intersection, inhibiting pedestrians to engage more freely with the site, as well as, deteriorating the connection between each corner. The concept of this project is to break down all the barriers and open up the intersection, making it more accessible to pedestrians. At the same time, redesigning the intersection through a tactical urbanism approach by re-using and recycling the concrete from the barricades and other materials existing on site in an entirely different form.

The main design approach in the materials used in this project is based on recycling and reusing on-site materials to achieve a low-cost design.

This includes reusing salvaged concrete material from the demolished barricades at Portage & Main, incorporating them in different forms and functions, such as the flooring, benches, and planters.

The design strategy is to open up Portage and Main through crosswalks that connect each corner within relative distance to support and aid pedestrians to transition from one place to another more efficiently. The design intention is to redesign each corner to make it more lively and inviting for people. The focus on the design of Richardson Plaza is intended to demonstrate a similar design strategy throughout each corner, representing the connection between each corner and celebration of the barriers taken down.

INTERIM DESIGN APPROACH The strategy is to develop an interim design by focusing on a tactical urbanism approach. Using as many on-site resources as possible and reconfiguring them to new forms. The green flooring is a low-cost paint strategy to distinguish different areas on the floor, as well as bringing colors of vegetation to the site. The dark green exhibits an awareness of being too close to the road for safety, while the lighter green is a more inviting walkable space.

Four cutout straight edged pieces of concrete from the barricade create the planter box. In the center between the plants are fourteen 6-foot 2x2 cedar wood that extrudes out the planter to resemble the geometry of the barricades and follow a similar pattern of the intruded lines of the concrete façade of the barricades. This structure creates the walls and buffer of the lookout/viewing area that help direct their attention to the desired sightline extending out to Westbound Portage Ave.

TRANSFORMING THE BARRICADES PROJECT TYPE: Individual COURSE: Studio 5: Possible Urbanism(s) INSTRUCTOR(S): Brenda Brown, Lesley St. Godard LOCATION: Portage & Main DATE: Fall Semester, 2016 CONCEPT Portage and Main is one of Winnipeg’s most prominent intersections with quite a historical background.

Although it is known as the most famous intersection in Canada, the feeling of being on the site doesn’t live up to its expectations and reputation.

INTERIM DESIGN APPROACH The strategy is to develop an interim design by focusing on a tactical urbanism approach. Using as many on-site resources as possible and reconfiguring them to new forms. The green paint flooring is intended to be low-cost and aid in distinguishing different areas on the floor. With the lack of vegetation on the site, the shades of green help bring out more natural colors. At the same time, the dark green exhibits an awareness of being too close to the road for safety, while the lighter green is a more inviting walkable space.

This lookout area is intended to become a viewing area that looks out towards the desired sightline the intersection and one of Portage & Main’s experiential desired lines.

LOOKOUT SPACE - SIDE PIECES Four cutout straight edged pieces of concrete recycled from the barricade create the sides of the lookout area. In the center of the concrete planter are multiple cedar wood pieces extruded vertically to resemble the facade intrusions found in the existing barricades. This structure is intended to not only direct the orientation of visitors to the desired sight line extending out Westbound Portage Avenue, but to create a sense of enclosure within the space.

CENTRAL PLAZA In the central plaza, six installations are implemented in a particular layout to create spaces for people to connect, gather, and interact with one another. The rear side of each installation adjacent to the buildings is installed with a bench, while on the opposite side is a slanted raised bed of grass for people to occupy. The slanted angle of the structure helps facilitate a variety of areas for people to accommodate. The vision is to recycle Tyndall stone material from the old Public Safety Building and reuse it as the primary material for the structures. In addition, recycled Tyndall stone is implemented in the flooring surrounding the structures to contrast from the surround concrete paving.

COURTYARD After conducting a site analysis, it was noticeable that there was a lack of green space in the area. The implemented green space is located adjacent to Red River College to allow students and visitors a space in which they can relax and socialize. Lawn of grass is found on the surfaces of four raised beds. A row of pyramidal Skybound Arborvitae is planted along the sidewalk creates a buffer that blocks traffic noise and create a sense of privacy. The flooring between the raised beds is constructed with Tyndall stone in a flagstone pattern similar to the central plaza. Where the paths intersect, a larger central area creates a space for people to gather and interact.

GREEN AREAS With the lack of green space found in the area the vision for the site is to incorporate as much green space as possible. Other than the courtyard and the central plaza, green areas are found on the buildings that reside on the site.

Vertical gardens are implemented mainly on the buildings oriented far south.

Extensive green roofs are found on lower buildings, while intensive green roofs are found on higher elevated buildings. This allows for more public access to higher buildings to achieve a greater scenery of the surroundings for visitors.

PROJECT MODEL (1:200) SITE AREA

MATERIAL PALETTE The building faรงade materials are chosen to resemble a similar experience found with the facades of the buildings in the Exchange District. Paving and installations focus on using Tyndall stone to bring out similar features of the Public Safety Building, showing the significance of what was once there.

PROJECT BRIEF The studio project central focus is on the idea of landscape change that is specific to the Okanagan Valley. A series of analyses were conducted on a set of different scales. Beginning at the regional scale of the Okanagan Valley, the objective is to encode the ecologies of the region, revealing variation, processes, and natures of change. Next step is working towards a smaller scale, such as a town, a rural area, or a small city, a careful examination is conducted on how culture and other ecologies intertwine, and how they operate. Further, into the project, the focus is on the mechanisms of a system that reveal the interacting and interdependent components that make up the landscape. The final part of the project involves a design proposal that articulates the ecological narratives gathered from the analysis into a design model, gaining a new perspective on nature and reimagining an ecological urbanism.

Riparian corridors are located adjacent to water bodies in Kelowna, such as lakes, rivers, streams, and creeks. This ecosystem is important to the environment, as they support a large number of different species, providing habitats, water, cover, and food. At the same time, riparian corridors are comprised with a variation of vegetation types that facilitate in creating its beauty within the natural environment. Human development and land use have caused major impacts to this ecosystem, diminishing their area cover within Kelowna. As a result, various vertebrate and vegetation species within these riparian corridors to become endangered and extinct.

KELOWNA’S RIPARIAN VEINS __MIKE SATIADA CONCEPT The main intention of this proposal is to increase the growth of the decreasing riparian corridor within the city of Kelowna. Focusing on Mission Creek, the objective is to look at the creek as an interconnected system, implementing a series of new parks that creates a living interface between riparian corridors and neighborhoods. The purpose of these parks is to contribute in regaining respect for riparian habitats and reclaim the lost and damaged ecological system that has been impacted by human development. The narrative of this system is to lead people far from central Kelowna away from the concentrated residential and commercial development, bringing people closer to the natural landscape of the Okanagan Valley. The primary experiential value of the designed park is to frame the riparian corridor through various viewpoints at a variety of elevations, showcasing the beauty of the natural environment of the riparian ecosystem.

SITE CONTEXT

The goal of these series of parks is to contribute in the regrowth of riparian corridors along Mission Creek. The system is a representation of the vein of a leaf that redefines the spaces along the creek, where the parks are acting as a source that branches out to adjoining neighborhoods. The intention is to create an experiential area where people can fully engage with the riparian corridor through the implementation of various trails, and other recreational components such as walking and hiking. Each of the parks is interconnected by reusing the Greenway corridor to assist in creating continuity that links to the designed site located at the end of the system.

The primary objective of the elevated path is to circulate people through the riparian forest from canopy to canopy without disrupting or damaging the forest. At the same time, visitors will be able to engage with the landscape at a variety of elevations creating different experiences. A portion of the Greenway path at ground level is redeveloped by removing the gravel pathways and implementing a bosque to create a more natural landscape at ground level. The elevated pathway circulates the central portion of the park, crossing the creek bridging one side to the other. The main path raises people 8 meters above ground level, while the secondary path cutting through the center raises people up to 12 meters. Where the pathway drops to 6 meters above ground level is designed to connect the tree hotels to the main path. The pathway also branches out to the surrounding desired lines intersecting hiking trails higher up the valley.

The tree hotels are implemented in the landscape to create areas where visitors can stay and be one with nature, not found in the experiences of everyday hotels. The Tree Hotel project designed

by Tham & Videgard Arkitekter, located in Harads, Sweden, is the main principals that have informed the design layout. The purpose of the glass pane façade is to blend with the landscape, reflecting the surrounding areas. The trees located in the area acts as the central support column that elevates the tree hotel to higher elevations. Accessing the hotels is achieved through the canopy pathway. The allocation of the hotels is positioned on both sides of the creek. The one side of the creek focuses on a more isolated and concentrated canopy that is layout out similar to the veins of the leaf similar to the context design, while the other side distributes the hotels at different elevations that climb the valley, gaining different views at each level.

The design layout focuses creating a more natural lookout that is subtle and blends with the landscape. The design of the structure is a representation of Mission Creek and the connections achieved through the system. The perimeter of the structure is made of glass panes similar to the tree hotels to keep the same character. The inside of the structure is filled with natural vegetation found in the landscape at ground level surrounding the lookout, creating a different visual appearance for each one. There are four lookout structures positioned at higher elevations found at various points that surround the valley to gain a different point of view to the surroundings.

REGIONAL SCALE - PLAN VIEW OKANAGAN VALLEY, BC

CONTEXT ANALYSIS - OKANAGAN VALLEY, BRITISH COLUMBIA The Okanagan Valley is home to a high biodiversity of species and has substantial ecological significance within Canada. Although, the region has been subjected to a variety of disturbances that create obstacles for species to transition to different habitats, fragmenting the species and disrupting their natural corridors. Human influences, such as residential and commercial development, road and railway infrastructure, and agriculture have put tremendous amounts of pressure towards different ecosystems. Natural disturbances also impacted ecosystems that are mainly the result of the dry climate within the Okanagan Valley. The range of disturbances has put significant pressure on these ecosystems that have lead to a major reduction.

The Okanagan region is well known for its orchards and vineyards that spread throughout the valley.

Agriculture is one of the major contributors to the decrease in ecosystems, resulting in habitat loss and threats to many species within the Okanagan Valley.

Deforestation is one of the known contributors to the loss of ecosystems within the region.

Okanagan region is susceptible to seasonal drought conditions that may lead to an increase in wildfires.

Southern and central Okanagan is subjected to have more fires due to the warmer and drier climate within the region. This type of climate may result in more frequent and severe fires that create potential burnt areas within forest ecosystems.

Mountain Pine Beetle Disease

The application of mining pits may lead to decreases in particular ecosystems that can disrupt the connection of different wildlife corridors and disrupt a variety of habitats in the process. Mining pits can also cause damages by affecting soil, air, and water in surrounding areas due to harmful substances developed on site.

Millions of hectares of forests have been affected across British Columbia. Okanagan Valley specifically has been vulnerable due to the high density of ponderosa pine and lodgepole pine. The result of the infestation can lead to significant changes to ecosystems and alter the habitat of species where pine trees are considered necessary for shelter.
