Southeast False Creek and the Olympic Village (Public Realm/Urban Lighting)
* Scot Hein, Senior Urban Designer, City of Vancouver Urban Design Studio
This night walkshop will leave at 6:30 p.m. from the Wosk Center for Dialogue front entrance. This walkshop, with the focus on urban lighting, is also being held Sunday, October 2; the walkshop with the focus on the Public Realm will take place Tuesday, October 4.)
The Southeast False Creek and Olympic Village walkshop(s) will focus on Vancouver’s most recent, and innovative, public realm achievement including sustainable best practices for waterfront design, open spaces, urban wetland and the conveyance of water, sustainable streets and the city’s first true waterfront plaza. This newest Vancouver neighborhood sought to achieve the very best in urban design practices. The result is a combination of authentic placemaking in a low-mid rise context as well as great attention to detail with respect to landscape elements, public art and especially lighting. Both walkshops will start at North America’s first sewer heat recovery plant at the south Cambie bridgehead. Following an external overview of last year’s Architectural Institute of BC’s gold medalist, the tour will proceed through the soon to be developed “Worksyard Neighbourhood”, the urban wetland, the waterfront and related new habitat island, the innovative streets culminating at the central plaza. A special focus on innovative best practices in urban lighting will highlight the same walkshop route after hours. Southeast False Creek and the Olympic Village neighbourhood was named the world’s most livable community last year when it competed against 27 other countries at the prestigious United Nations sponsored LivCom Awards held in Chicago.
