Strip Mall Rehabilitation project, University of Calgary, Alberta

In Calgary, Alberta there lies a very iteresting problem that exists in almost all modern cities. The Stripmall, an impervious wall of shops that reside in low qulity buildings set along an asphalt sea. The back service sides of these are nearly always ignore the context and create a wall with trash bins impervious to its surrounding.
A team of international designers set out to take a closer look at what could be done. Richard Pitts, Danil Nagy, and Christopher Livsey embarked on our final project to identify the best and most universal design approach.
Our Concept included..
-Retaining the strip mall while introducing permeability.
-Replacing the parking field with new program.
-Introducing green corridors to connect with the surrounding context.
-Lifting the new residential program above.
-Developing a nourishing canopy prototype for localized, sustainable food production.
