DESCRIPTION
This project was a collaboration with Riley Iwamoto, Evan Hammer, and Ocean Luo as part of a two-week intensive Urban Design Studio course. The goal was to analyze Vancouver's Mt. Pleasant Industrial Lands and propose a design intervention that hit on four distinct scales: small, medium, large, and extra-large. I our intervention, "Mt. Pleasant Farms," we propose a system of "floating" agriculture above the existing light industrial fabric, simultaneously increasing the resiliency of the food chain, preserving valuable industrial land, and creating an "urban magnet" to draw in visitors from near and far.
