ecology paths through portland and along the coast utilising the present portland parks infrastructure, we can create a new urban environment that sets an example for other cities to follow. we can then extrapolate this to the larger scale, mimicking human migration along the i-5 corridor by creating a species migration corridor.
opportunistic ecology the portland watershed system was previously defined by the change in topography from the west hills down to the willamette river that cuts through the middle of the city. as the city has grown, these watershed streams have been consolidated into pipes going under the city. two of these streams bracket the site.
