Team PWL+MVRDV present their work as part of the City of Vancouver’s Sea2City Design Challenge.
The Sea2City Design Challenge (Sea2City) will help inform a framework and vision to guide urban development and ecological revitalization in the False Creek floodplain, a highly valued and constrained urban waterway in the heart of the city. After an international request for proposals, Sea2City attracted nine proposals from a range of local, Canadian, and international firms. The two selected teams, Mithun+One and PWL+MVDRV, are exceptional, multidisciplinary teams that are work co-operatively with Vancouver and project partners to:
- Explore coastal adaptation approaches that respond to the social equity, economic, and ecological challenges posed by sea level rise and coastal flooding
- Investigate coastal adaptation approaches for sea level rise beyond one metre
- Expand our toolbox of coastal flood management approaches
- Increase public awareness of climate change and sea level rise
The PWL+MVRDV team includes:
- PWL Partnership Landscape Architects Inc.
- MVRDV
- Deltares and Modern Formline Design
Relevant work by this team includes :
- PWL’s work on the Southeast False Creek Waterfront
- Ship Point Waterfront Master Plan
- MVRDV and Deltares have worked together on Beyond Lux (e), Towards Ecotopia, and Resilient by Design
