Urban Edge Studio (Ottawa 2017)

ARCU3304: Urbanism in Practice 2

Winter 2017

The emphasis in this studio will be on using design thinking and creative visualizations to ask new questions and to develop novel proposals for a site at the current periphery of urban Ottawa. The primary question is, how can a 52 acre site which is now farmland be reimagined, not just as a residential area, but as a new urban center that will act as a catalyst to encourage density and vitality. How can this edge become a center?
