Description

CAMPUS INTEGRATION, CONNECTIONS BETWEEN PRECINTS:
Our proposal's starting point is the principle of global intervention through an active fabric generated upon the two main areas of the campus. This "Open system", as you have coined it, allows a more chirurgical intervention on the important spaces of both the existing and future campus. The interstitial spaces of the existing campus core as well as the articulation spaces of the Southwood Precinct are treated in a personalized way that offers solutions that are adapted to each particular situation. We wished to reinforce this viral activity within the campus by zooming in on each thematic area defined in our first proposal and by offering an urban, programmatic and architectural solution for each of the areas illustrated on boards 3 and 4 of set B.

UNIVERSITY PRESENCE ALONG PEMBINA HIGHWAY:
Remaining faithful to our philosophy of active intervention, we have conceived the marked presence of the university along the principal limiting axes only when this presence is linked to one or more uses that provide a purpose to the intervention. Thus, we have used the architectural typology created for the Campus regeneration and have moved towards the creation of a whole set of uses and subtypes as veritable small-scale architectural projects, which form an active and multimodal border, apt for the marking of the university's presence on the main axes and connections with the city of Winnipeg through the new entrances illustrated below.

HIGHRISE BUILDINGS MODIFICATION
Having received the encouragement to persevere in the further development of the other building typologies, particularly the BERM building, we have conceived this high-density residential building not so much as a volume but as the extension of a movement or path. Therefore, in the circuit traced by the "large cluster? we have introduced a break in a new direction, in this case rising to the sky and creating a sloped roof that protects the terraces, that are resultant of the superimposition of the housing modules forming a linear albeit diagonal progression as a reminder of the elevations of the villages that are placed along this same path.

SYSTEM OF ROADS BETWEEN THE CLUSTERS:
Despite our concerns regarding the local transport customs of the inhabitants of Winnipeg and the generalized car culture of North America, we have decided to drastically minimize the roads along the Southwood precinct in order to ensure the continuity of the landscape for the whole site. These roads, reduced to their simplest expression, are the residual spaces between two landscaped areas rather than a superimposed system of defined spaces that leave residual pockets of landscaping. It is worthy of note that this choice does not affect in any way the public, bicycle and pedestrian transport networks of the Southwood site, that now achieved a much greater density than that indicated in the TOD as illustrated on board % of set A.

Jury Report

The conceptual rigor, visionary approach, and architectural development of the project convinced the jury of the scheme?s inherent qualities. The authors make a statement in terms of proposing a clear and strong vision, one defined by spatial continuities and visual markers. A series of clusters are placed within a continuous landscape, with buildings conceived as part of the modulated terrain. Subtle spatial interventions connect the Southwood district with the Core Campus. Though forming different neighbourhoods, the scheme is driven by a unifying language of architectural elements: carefully designed mounds, towers, courtyards, and walkways. The jury appreciated the schemes great sensibility for the landscape and specific characteristics of the plan. The architectural design generates high uniqueness and a true potential to create an identity for the new neighbourhoods with their landmark towers to the outside and the hamlets to the inside. This goes along with a promising sustainability concept, incorporating local food production and technical solutions for saving resources.
