Project Overview



Need a quick run-through? This is the spot.



Initial input / 


Meeting with businesses and residents in early January 2020.





Community design workshop / 


In collaboration with Crossroads Community Association, we hosted a community design workshop in early February 2020.



Studio work / 


We worked as a team to develop a design process that reflected community input and our academic training.






Recognizing local opportunities / 


From our design process, we developed an seven-step DIY visioning exercise for Calgary communities.




Rediscover Crossroads / 


Using the process we developed, we came up with our own vision for Crossroads.




Diagrams and details / 


 We used diagrams to explain our big dreams and design rationale for the future of four areas (“hearts”) in Crossroads.




Connective tissue /  


We connected our four “hearts” with a connective tissue. We used diagrams to illustrate key elements of the connective tissue cross-section.





 Master plan /  


Rediscover old pathways, natural areas, neighbours, and lake fun.
