| Summary: | A design is developed for a community park on the ocean edge of West
Vancouver, British Columbia. The guiding design goal is to achieve a sensitive
response to the essence of this edge. The experience of this ocean, land and sky
interface is explored as are its conditions of context and memory. Overarching
design responses are presented and a conceptual design is articulated. The
design of the park attempts to reveal the tactile nature of this ocean edge. The
design is authentic to today yet the hope is that it will inspire experimentation
and change with time. The park will have a quality of stable impermanence, like
the edge where it is found. === Applied Science, Faculty of === Architecture and Landscape Architecture (SALA), School of === Graduate |
