Project Description
The seawall in Stanley Park offers a stark view of how climate change is affecting the area in all seasons - from intense heat, to air pollution from wildfires, to flood and erosion from more extreme precipitation and tides. This presents challenges for residents and visitors seeking to experience this popular site. It also challenges local birds who are particularly affected by pollution. This design aims to increase visibility and awareness of climate changes that are harder to see - particularly shifts in air quality, moisture, and temperature that are not readily visible.
This project was completed in Fall 2022 for the Introductory Landscape Architecture Studio at the University of British Columbia (UBC), with direction from Sara Jacobs, UBC Professor, and Tatiana Nozaki, HAPA Landscape Designer.
Site Location
Prospect Point, Stanley Park

Site Plans and Sections
Site context and design intervention to remove a section of the sea wall and replace it with a descending rock path, encouraging users to slow down and interact with the fog net installations and tide pools, as well as offering a closer view of a proposed bull kelp forest.
