Vis à vis : a working centre and small business hotel in Vancouver Syverson, Lisa Mary
Abstract
brief description of the site is first necessary to describe the premise of this project. The site is composed of three 75' by 120' city lots on Homer Street, just north of Dunsmuir Street. Each of its shorter ends is faced by a park - one is adjacent to the new BC Hydro Building, the other is Cathedral Square. This project incorporates landscape elements (a bed of trees, a trough of water, a central court, a swimming pool) within the organization of its two programmes. Several landscape elements are positioned in relation to the end conditions of the site, others act as transitional devices to lead one through the building. Issues of scale are raised in their reading as components of the constructed urban park, as well as individual devices which frame specific spaces of the building.
