The District of Squamish and Ecotrust have stated that the Centre will serve as a tangible demonstration of the town\u2019s commitment to sustainable thought and action, including interpretive information related to the proposed windfarm on Alice Ridge. Squamish has a reputation for being a very windy place. It is a word adapted from Sko-mish, the name of the native nation who first occupied the territory and has a general meaning of \u201cstrong wind\u201d, or \u201cbirthplace of the winds.\u201d The design solution for the NCC aims to tie these two ideas together, demonstrating a strong commitment to sustainability and reinforcing the identity of Squamish as the \"birthplace of the great winds.\" The project framework explores the relationship between renewable energy and people- how people understand and experience natural forces of place, and the relationship between renewable energy and place- how local wind data may be translated into architectural design, The proposed design interventions range from the fundamental organization of the site to small-scale detailing of the sensory experience of the wind. The intent is to inspire a multitude of other ways to integrate the Squamish winds in future developments that strengthen a \u2019sense of place\u2019 in downtown Squamish.","language":"en"},{"key":"dc.language.iso","value":"eng","language":"en"},{"key":"dc.publisher","value":"University of British Columbia","language":null},{"key":"dc.rights","value":"For non-commercial purposes only, such as research, private study and education.
