Fresh Eyes on Britannia Beach |

505a Urban Design Studio 2003 |
This course explores the power of urban design to structure an equitable, healthy, sustainable and gratifying context for the social lives of its users. The objectives of the course are to design for people and their real needs; to use form and structure to make "places;" to provide a particular site with evocative visions for a complex and dynamic urbanism; and to enhance the economic, social, and ecological sustainability of urban form, and of a selected site in particular. Britannia Beach is on Howe Sound between Lion's Bay and Squamish. The intent of the studio will be to provide ideas and visions for the community. Students in the studio will conduct the visioning exercise, working in parallel with an ongoing community visioning process for the community. |
