TOWNSHEND LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS

Plaza of Nations

PLAZA OF NATIONS

Working with architect Ken Yeang of Llewellyn Davis Yeang, Townshend Landscape Architects were appointed to work on the masterplan for the public realm as part of a rezoning application to the former 86' World Expo site in Vancouver, Canada. Through an ecological rationale the design promotes "eco-density" living by incorporating eco-technology systems and high level "sky gardens" walkways and green roofs.

The proposals include a new cultural and entertainment space for performances, revitalisation to the waterfront and a new public green space over the retail podium levels.
