Lower Don Lands Design Competition/TORONTO
最近のトロントでは公園、ウォーターフロント、近隣再開発など様々なランドスケープコンペが開催されています。
Lower Don Lands Design Competition（予算65百万ドル）も注目を集めた設計コンペです。
生態系の再生と洪水防止、パークシステムの確立、持続可能なインフラ整備などが求められました。
審査の結果、まず２９チームの応募の中から以下の５チームが選定され、最終的にはＭＶＶＡが選定されました。
Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, New York, with acclaimed Toronto planner, Ken Greenberg. MVVA is already familiar with Toronto's waterfront through its work at Don River Park, now under construction.
Weiss/Manfredi Architects, New York, much admired for the recently opened Olympic Sculpture Park in Seattle, an exquisite waterfront project that has many lessons for Toronto. Local partner is highly respected DTAH.
Atelier Girot and Landscape Morphology, Paris, who have worked throughout Europe.
Hargreaves Associates, whose San Francisco project, Crissy Field, transformed a military airstrip into a waterfront park. Their local Toronto partner is the Hough Group.
Stoss Landscape Urbanism, Cambridge, Mass., with Brown & Storey, the small Toronto architectural practice best known for Yonge-Dundas Square.
各チームとも、生態系や土木工学、建築の専門家で構成されています。
審査員のコメントは次の通りです。
”This design was selected because the jury felt it best met the two major
objectives of the competition which were to create a naturalized mouth and iconic identity for the Don River, and to deliver a comprehensive plan for addressing the area’s ecological, urban design and transportation issues. The implementability of the MVVA team design was also an important consideration for the jury.”
