| dc.description.abstract | As the earth’s climate continues to change and natural ecosystems become degraded, urban landscapes hold particular potential to address these issues. Henteleff Park is a unique landscape in Winnipeg, Manitoba as a remnant riparian forest, tree nursery, and living collection of trees. It holds potential as a public space for education, experimentation, sustainability and ecology, and as an arboretum. This practicum aims to develop design and management ideas for Henteleff Park based on an analysis of the site and surrounding area, research, precedent study, and the goals of the Henteleff Park Foundation. The project is oriented around the following 5 objectives: 1) Embrace change: Embrace the dynamic nature of plants and their changes in form and function through seasons and time, and adapt to a changing climate. 2) Education and Experimentation: Create opportunities for observation, education, research and hands-on experimentation with plants. 3) Accessibility and Connectivity: Improve the ability for people, fauna and flora to move through the space. Strengthen connectivity between the park and adjacent spaces. 4) Sustainability and Ecology: Improve the site’s environmental sustainability including carbon sequestration, water and air filtration, erosion mitigation, and urban heat island mitigation. Improve ecological health and functionality. 5) Transform the park into an Arboretum: Build on the existing assets of Henteleff Park to develop the space as an Arboretum. | |
