Specifically looking at the Lower Don River, this thesis offers a new vision for this area and is compatible with the new generation of thinking about how landscape can not only restore natural area but also be visibly productive and socially accessible. The proposal’s interest aligns with the ideas of architects and landscape architects such as Michael Hough, Mohsen Mostafavi, Elizabeth Mossop, Pierre Belanger, and Douglas Farr. The design proposal tackles existing environmental and ecological issues of the Don River by envisioning a series of three programs along the Don that offer dynamic community interactions, and foster the discourse on social and environmental responsibilities. These three programs are all defined by the same design strategy, which relies on a hierarchy of water systems with different volumes to develop a corresponding architectural program. The water is absorbed, retained, and purified through different basins, water remediation cells, and soft landforms during its journey to the river, while people have the opportunity to enjoy that process within the system of boardwalks, elevated decks, and seasonally accessible walkways. These habitable landforms provide room for different public recreational activities which could foster a unique character and renewed experience of a public work along the water’s edge.
