Road on the UBC Campus. This connects Main Mall with West Mall and will
become a prominent pedestrian and service route on Campus.

Problem Statement:
To
implement a working model of public realm sustainable design and to
showcase sustainable design initiatives at UBC. This will lay a solid
foundation for the broader mandate to build a valuable demonstration
project that can inform and inspire design elsewhere on campus, in the
city of Vancouver,and beyond.
Design Solution:
Space2place
undertook a thorough analysis of the existing site conditions. These
were then carefully matched to the program elements proposed for the
site. The resulting design simplifies the navigation throughout the
space to provide enhance the public realm on campus. The South side of
the site serves as the green infrastructure filtering the stormwater
and providing habitat. The north side of the street serves as the
social side of the street, providing opportunities of education, public
gathering and communication.
Awards:
2008 CSLA National Merit Award
