Final Review Responses_Taylor Baek
The project addresses the effect of ongoing development on the site and its evident gentrification by expansion of the existing skatepark. The cultural significance of the existing skatepark has been recognized and respected in London (Queen Elizabeth Hall) and it should be applied to the project to halt gentrification in the area. The project also consist of bike ramp that connects from Burnside bridge to the ground level, public access West facade ramp system with bike parking that provide waterfront views as well as shading device for the building, multi function rooftop garden. Drawing truly dynamic demographics into the site not only resolve the gentrification that comes with development but also bring the fresh energy to the site (more bars, restaurants, shops, etc to accommodate different needs for the diversity) that makes the project more attractive for the building occupants.

- Does the strategy that Zumthor used on his building really effective for my project?
