The proposal made a complex transformation tangible, inviting a conversation about density and the room a city gives back to people and ecology.

The design question

How can an industrial area be reconsidered to make space for denser housing, generous public space and nature?

My contribution

As part of Team Biopolis, I helped develop and present the spatial proposal through a large physical model. The model was used to test relationships between the built fabric, waterfront, public spaces and green structure.

The value

The proposal made a complex transformation tangible, inviting a conversation about density and the room a city gives back to people and ecology.
