Description
FormShift Vancouver includes three competition categories:
1. Vancouver Primary - design for a mixed use primary (arterial) site along a major Vancouver street that includes a rapid transit station. A generic drawing and existing zoning data are included in supporting documents.* Participants are not bound by the zoning, but should offer a rationale for any departures.
2. Vancouver Secondary - design for small secondary (residential) site in an established Vancouver neighbourhood near public transit. A generic drawing and existing zoning data are included in supporting documents.* Participants are not bound by the zoning (including the possibility of non-residential use), but should offer a rationale for any departures.
3. Vancouver Wild Card – a design that pushes the envelope of sustainable design and community building for Vancouver. This may be an aggressively imaginative, speculative and/or futuristic concept that suggests a radically new model of sustainable design for Vancouver, even not currently viable. Solutions that are adaptable to other sites are strongly encouraged.
