Great public infrastructural projects provide fundamental services for cities that increase the quality of life for their users. As means of transportation evolve, how can these projects remain essential over time? Parkade of the Future approaches this issue by designing multiple futures for a singular purpose building. CMLC (Calgary Municipal Land Corporation) and the Calgary Parking Authority (CPA) commissioned 5468796 Architecture as Design Architects to design a ‘parkade of the future’ for a 2.25 acre site on 9th Avenue in Calgary’s East Village. The project consists of a 510 stall garage that anticipates converting into office, light industrial or residential typologies based on future needs.
To transform both the vehicular parking circuit and the user experience from one of conventional, utilitarian function to one with rich, unexpected qualities, key typology-questioning approaches are pursued. High floor-to-floor height, 40 foot shallow floor plates, light-washed pedestrian-forward routes, elevated views in all directions, clear and simple wayfinding and straightforward, single-direction circulation come together to create a delightful destination within a parking-heavy programme. Vehicular access, centred on the property and aligned with 3rd Street SE, is flanked by pedestrian entrances and activities, which animate the frontage along 9th Avenue SE and frame the southern edge of the developing East Village.
