Hello VV'ers,

 

A few months ago we launched an initiative called Block x Block where people or organizations can submit a block of their neighbourhood for us and an architecture team to reimagine. 

 

The ground rules are simple:

 

1. It must reasonably conform to the existing policy context.

2. Design priority will be given to everything before the private car.

3. It will benefit the whole, not the aggregated individual property interests.

4. Buildout has to be possible within a 15 year time horizon, or less.

5. It must be bold, fun, and designed to inspire.

 

We have just opened up the next round and are working with Diamond Schmitt Architects (dsai.ca) on the design. If you have a block that you think could use some imagination, we encourage you to submit a response for consideration. 

 

The last entry was done in North Park with D'Ambrosio Architecture + urbanism and can be found here: https://www.talktoaryze.ca/north-park

 

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out!
