This competition, my first solo design project, involved the re-design of the streetscape for the area surrounding the Henry F. Hall building, the largest building within the downtown Sir George William’s Campus of Concordia University. A community visioning session was the required impetus for all submissions. In this session the local community stressed the need for a sense of identity, spaces that promote deliberation and creativity, comforting and pleasant environments, and an increased presence of flora to combat the current overwhelming ‘greyness’ of the space. To achieve these goals, this submission centred on the notion of nurturing the symbiotic coexistence of independent identities. This design conceptualizes the campus as a highly fragmented archipelago of spaces, a spatially separated set of fragments that correspond to their urban setting and, more importantly, the scale of the buildings which they are attached to. In this design, the streets do not belong to the university, they belong to the actors of the city, in which the University represents only a portion.
