What is this?

What is this?

We want to look at spaces, places, architecture and design with fresh eyes – yours.

An essential question around the hcma studios is: "What's Possible?" For a street? A community plan? A pool? A school? A...home page?

We post images and questions that relate to discussions around the studio. If you see something that sparks your curiosity, tell us what you think. You can check out other people's contributions too by viewing all responses.

A single comment, a debate or a consensus could cause a shift, that shifts everything.

Welcome to the conversation.

    An area where past and future unit. Where history is acknowledged through architecture: open spaces, covered outdoor markets stalls and homes for families that are conducive to work from home. City run day care and shelters for those less fortunate that offer spaces for Pets to stay overnight and belongings to be stored...facilities that can access mental health and addictions and offer support and counselling. Places like Pathways - a clubhouse for people with mental health diagnosis . (see pathways clubhouse Richmond BC - Dave McDonald Director)

    We need a well connected micro-neighborhoods under these bridges that can be a good mix of programs including but not limited to Affordable housing (to counter Vancouver's pricey housing market), urban parks, art installations, skate parks, tiny homes. Create a sense of ownership by letting people design/construct their own idea of tiny homes/suspended cabins/pods from the overhead bridges (think about using all the vertical space between the bridge and the ground).

    Connect crab park and Andy Livingston park and a new park on this site with a canal down Columbia st. A little bit of European canals mixed with San Antonio’s River walk that could also connect the seawall loop. Grass and sand beach on either side of the viaduct area with new housing either side that’s 50/50 for profit/social housing to help those trying to get back on their feet. The canal could facilitate tour boats doing a loop and extend the harbour ferry routes. This new park would also be a great place for a first nations visitors centre designed to introduce all the nations that represent the BC mainland coastal people as they were before settlement. A place to display their society, technology, knowledge of nature and provide education for visitors and locals. By no means cheap or realistically feasible but it could be beautiful depending on the depth to the high tide level.

    Either bury or semi-bury the viaducts (to create a nicer open space on top) or embrace the current situation and imagine the existing viaducts as the tree canopies or the pergolas that you can find in many open spaces. In this second case traffic sound mitigation should be something to work on.

    An animated, human-scale streetscape that acts as a connector between the downtown CBD and the DTES-- one which is framed by attractive buildings with a mix of uses-- residential, commercial, maker/PDR and office, and at various intensities of density that are consistent with an inner-city setting that has the benefit of super natural features close by and punctuating distant vistas.

Somewhere for the flatland BMXers to practice, somewhere for dogs and somewhere for kids/families to play. Perhaps a small community centre/venue for workshops, etc., which could also host farmer's market type events.

Something that resonates similar to New York's High Line. It would need a sense of place that distinguishes it from our many seaside walks. A zen sanctuary in the city.

    please not affordable/social housing! The viaduct has created this wasteland and it is the viaduct's owner who is responsible for the land it is affecting. Shopping centre, industrial or civil infrastructure (municipal service yards, civil water or waste water treatment. Alternately "green" the viaduct by turning it into a linear park, bikeway and maybe (quiet running) streetcar way, then the land below could be put to better use including integrated urban village concepts with direct vertical access to the green parkway.

    An indoor green park space to escape the nasty weather. During the late fall/winter/early spring, it is THE place to go. A park-like setting that mimics an outdoor space so people can take their children to play, dog for a walk, get fit, seniors can be comfortable walking where it isn't too cold or slippery, etc. Creatively presented space that provides a fair weather day when it isn't.

    Public space to liven the area. Nobody wants to walk under a viaduct. City of Toronto is doing interesting things with the Gardiner as it has been a long-time painpoint for pedestrians who are connecting from downtown to the Waterfront as they must go under the Gardiner expressway and it was very poor user experience. Things like a skatepark and interactive public art (vs. non interactive public art) livened up the space a lot.

    Leave the viaducts in place, take back the space underneath for an outdoor park that is bikeable and walkable. Trees, parks, green space, community gardens, an area for food trucks to park. Maintain or expand the skatepark, install public art. Re-purpose/decorate structural columns.
