dc.description.abstract | Urban expansion in major Canadian cities often diminishes social value as privatization and economic interests overshadow public spaces. This thesis investigates how monolithic structures with singular motivations and auto-centric design lead to fragmented urban density. The architectural proposal aims to enhance social value by integrating communal amenities and fostering connections through cohesive architectural design systems. Concepts of carving a figure, puncturing boundaries, intertwining programs and dynamic structures are employed to repair a disjointed block with varied urban types. By proposing integrated urban greenbelts, a dual frontage commercial corridor, a multifunctional community plaza, and mixed urban housing, this thesis prioritizes public space as vibrant community hubs. It advocates for these spaces to serve as unifying elements, bridging diverse urban typologies, fostering community connections, and enriching the urban landscape with cohesive architectural designs. | en_US |
