Stantec Living City Challenge entry

description

Stantec and Emily Carr teamed up to enter the Living City Challenge together - a competition that wanted us to:

• Imagine a truly sustainable future
• Imagine a socially just, culturally rich and ecologically restorative civilization
• Imagine what tomorrow might hold for humanity if we rise to meet the challenges of today

To do this, we were asked to concieve a vision of a city that would be truly living, and to present out concept in a series of boards and a video. This was a multi-disciplinary team, and gave the Emily Carr participants a chance to work alongside architects, urban planners, engineers and many other professionals.

My role in this project was as a member of the steering committee that set the direction for the competition entry, and coordinated the work of the team. I was frequently called on as a facilitator for ideation and branding exercises, and worked on the visualization team to develop the direction for the video.

The competition does not conclude until the end of April 2011, so there are no publically available visuals to share at the moment.
