description: Waterfront is the edge at which land and water meet. This powerful intersection plays a significant role in imaging the sustainable city. To design a working, sustainable waterfront neighbourhood is to generate creative, elegant solutions which care for the certain context / place and people's needs. The project site is located in Eburne Lands along the North Arm Fraser River in Vancouver, and primarily based on case studies of urban industrial developments in Vancouver and some post-industrial cities in the US. Zoning strategies, block scales, building footprints, building types, street patterns and general issues in these industrial districts are explored. Sustainable design strategies are used to solve the issues and generate design evaluation criteria. Integrating the design criteria and site information and analysis, it creates general design principles and guidelines for the design of the Eburne Lands project. The research and design aim of this project is to create a model for a sustainable, mixed-use, work/live, and industrially focused community, which integrates the existing urban fabric, surrounding neighbourhoods and also the waterfront. The design process moves through site analysis, issued identification, conceptual design, site plan, and detail design.
