St-Patrick's Island design competition, Calgary, Alb. Canada

DESCRIPTION

Finalist in an international design competition organized by Calgary to transform St.Patrick’s Island into a large urban park. The vision reshapes Hebertism and park pathway archetypes in a new way to connect man with nature. To achieve equilibrium between natural habitats and challenging human activities the project applies a sensitive approach, respectful of both wildlife and human needs. The island is designed to become a worldwide model exemplifying a new human attitude towards other species. The park becomes an ecological mosaic and is composed of a vibrant assemblage of habitats. Users are invited to experience wildlife while they are an integral part of it.
