The
second drawing suggests how water is integrated into the basic
grid framework. The site’s sloping topography provides an obvious
cue for reintroducing natural hydrological patterns and for
incorporating the concepts of natural drainage and water management
into the everyday workings of the community.
The third drawing shows a more refined community open-space
structure taking shape around a 300-by-600 foot grid. The circles
represent a 400-metre walking radius. The beginning of a green
heart is depicted at the point where the Still Creek corridor
intersects the centre of the site.
