PORTFOLIO

E U N I C E W O N G

Welcome to my portfolio! What you will find here is a collection of planning and design works, archived from professional or educational experiences and even a few personal pieces. I enjoy ex-ploring a range of mediums and am most interested in achieving urban design ex-cellence through a strong graphic narrative. The worlds of urban design and graphic design are the two realms I am most passion-ate about; I hope to further explore their relationship in the planning profession.

big moves & key elements

Not only are these moves important as stand-alone elements, but the interplay they create in their overlap presents unique opportuni-ties to activate frontages and open space.

Landscape is a method of integration for the various elements; as spaces for movement and gathering, they create sustainable spaces for both the human and natural world.

Public space simplifies public gathering, fostering community ties by attracting residents from within the community and adjacent neighbourhoods.

Public art is used to reveal the site’s character in past, present, and future form, as well as an opportunity for local artists; this emphasis will transform Bishop’s Crossing into an artistic hub.

As Preston’s heritage is rooted in industry, these activities must be recognized and protected, and new industrial installments must preserve the industrial culture of the area; current and future uses should be modernized to foster small-scale growth.

THE BIG MOVES FOR BISHOP’S CROSSING ARE: LANDSCAPE,

PUBLIC SPACE, PUBLIC ART, AND INDUSTRY.

density check

Aligning with objectives of the City of Cambridge’s Growth Management Strategy (GMS) & requirements for Prime Intensification Areas, density on-site has been altered, now providing 92.55 people and jobs per hectare. This meets provincially mandated intensification targets and also to attract users to the site in order support the proposed active and passive uses.

massing

Bishop’s Crossing is proposed to range between one to eight storeys. Stepping-up buildings was employed throughout the site to adhere to the prevailing character; this will set up buildings in a manner that does not overwhelm residents walking along the street, yet still provides a continuous façade and “eyes-on- the-street” feel. A second technique frequently used is locating the highest point at the corner of each building, to employ a sense of way-finding using on-site architecture.

AS A MEASURE OF DENSITY, THIS INDICATES THE IMPACT THAT PROPOSED STRUCTURES WILL HAVE ON VIEWSHEDS AND MOVEMENT.

firm profile:(re)concinno ltd.

Reconcinno is the latin word for rehab, reflecting the firm’s philosophy of revitalization and rehabilitation. Every site, community, and township/municipality has their own unique character and heritage. When proposing redevelopment for a site, this heritage should not be forgotten. We focus on employing modern revitalization practices, while incorporating heritage features and green development through design landscpaes which maximize environmental proteticition and revitalization. All proposals are designed with the utmost respect for the environment, both local and at large.

“All urban environments are built on foundations laid by natural

and industrial worlds. The redevelopment of “bishop’s crossing”

will create a vibrant urban village based on these foundations. Im-

proving connections through the site and creating places which

express it’s existing character will signify the site’s transition and

theoretical crossroads from past to future. Not only is this reflected

in it’s history, but also the uses found on site, being industry, art,

and their fusion through open public space.

1The final PLAN 313 assessment for the redesign of Preston, Cambridge’s industrial town, required design groups to cre-ate 4 (four) concluding panels to present an overview of the design direction and implementation strategies envisioned for the subject site. Main themes considered include revitilization, rehabilitation, and inducing human-scale urbanism. The greatest challenge with Preston was its complexity as an abandoned industrial site, with two railways bisecting the site. We adapted to this by introducing live-work units and studios that encourage an increase in residential and employ-ment density, while staying grounded in its historical roots.

Diversity in land use increase the rea-sons an individual may have to travel to the site. Creating a true live-work- play community through mixed-uses will present an interesting interplay in areas where these uses mix; intermingling of uses will present a more active site at all times of day, helping to strengthen current community ties.

analysis: before & after opportunities & constraints

A thorough dissection of the site’s existing opportunities and constraints delin-eates aspects of the site that should be utilized, constructed, protected, or en-hanced; this helps when determining strategies to better develop the site to mag-nify its full potential.

THE INITIAL STEP IN DEVELOPING A NEW CONCEPT FOR ANY SITE SHOULD BE

A REVIEW OF ITS EXISTING CONDITIONS.

THROUGH FIGURE GROUND ANALYSIS, ONE CAN IDENTIFY THE OVERARCHING CHANGES PROPOSED.

Built form indicates alterations made to building structures to accommodate proposed uses; it has been altered to maxi-mize usable public space while also providing ample residential, commercial, and industrial opportunities. Street networks are examined by their removed, retained, and proposed status within the new proposal. Open space analysis was cate-gorized into four types, being naturalized vegetation, manicured vegetation, hardscape, and programmed spaces, each being unique in terms of what they bring to the site.

Most changes are centred on Duke Street, being a natural choice for development as the corridor holds the highest traffic volume within the site. Alterations were distinguished by comparing buildings in which the structure was changing to those in which the use was changing; majority of altered buildings were re-garding the latter. Buildings to remain were found to already be efficiently used on site and thought to fit well with the future use of Bishop’s Crossing.

ALTERATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE TO MAXIMIZE

PUBLIC SPACE, WHILE ALSO PRIORITIZING A MIX OF

USES TO ADD VITALITY TO THE SITE.

1 SITE DESIGN: Bishop’s Crossing - Cambridge, ON / PANEL 2 of 4

Shared StreetA woonerf is a street type that mixes cars, cyclists, and pedestrians into one space. This slows down all traffic, and creates a safer space for travel. The woonerf, named Rail Line Way connects Montrose Street and Dolph Street. This will facilitate more north-south movement within the site, and will priori-tize pedestrian and cycle traffic.

circulation analysis

Circulation can be viewed in two lights, in which one matches on-site paths to modes of travel, while the other defines hierarchy. Different modes of transportation create different opportunities and challenges when developing a site. As such, Bishop’s Crossing contains multi-use paths, pedestrian/cycling-only paths, and a shared space path to accommodate for all modes, and prioritize certain ones in particular locations to better define that area of the site. The proposal also sug-gests the implementation of a transivt route, which is anchored by a transit hub in the southern most corner of the site; this initiative looks beyond on-site move-ment, hoping to draw in residents from the K-W region to experience the site’s offerings.

FLOW OF MOVEMENT IMPACTS HOW SPACES ARE USED AND PERCEIVED. HYPERACTIVITY MAY APPEAR PROHIBITIVELY BUSY, WHILE UNDERUTILIZATION

COULD BE SEEN AS DESOLATE OR ABANDONED CONNECTIONS.

street hierarchyHIERARCHY PROVIDES THE BASIS FOR DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS AND SHOULD BE EXPLOITED TO ESTABLISH DISTRICTS BASED ON

THE LEVEL OF ACTIVITY THEY DESIRE AND THE TYPE OF TRAFFIC THAT WOULD SUIT THEIR DEVELOPMENTS.

These characteristics also dic-tate dimensions of these net-works. Expected traffic flows in Bishop’s Crossing can be represented by five street hier-archies:

Local StreetA local street is designed to prioritize low volumes of mostly car traffic. The street itself has two car travel lanes, and sidewalks for pedestrians. They are generally in place to service residential communities.

ThoroughfareA thoroughfare street is designed for higher volumes of traffic than local streets. They should major aspects of a region, and can support some uses

that require street frontage.

Main StreetMain streets are designed to handle high volumes of both vehicle and pedes-trian traffic. They support high amounts of retail uses. Development should focus around main streets, since the traffic that is generated by them will help to facilitate the success of said development.

When examining traffic flows, Bishop’s Crossings main streets are Duke Street and King Street, which serve as major thoroughfares and have significant com-mercial development. Elevated levels of traffic on these streets presents great-er potential for commercial establishments. Likewise, streets with less expected traffic will be targeted for residential development. Methods in which streets, paths, or connections are designed will also affect amounts of attracted traffic; by using certain materials on predominantly pedestrian streets, segregating bike-lanes, and creating cycle-only trails, Bishop’s Crossing hopes to empha-size the importance of non-auto networks and increase their traffic.

open spaceDIFFUSING FROM THE SPINE OF THE SITE, BISHOP’S CROSSING ESTABLISHES A

COMPREHENSIVE OPEN SPACE NETWORK, ALIGNED WITH DIFFERENT TYPES OF

TRAILS, PASSIVE AND ACTIVE PUBLIC ART, AS WELL AS PROGRAMMED AND PAS-

SIVE USES, ALL INTENDED TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY.

The linear trail is connected to various pockets of open space which all contrib-ute to defining the site and present places for all walks of life to enjoy, beyond the boundaries of four walls.

passiveactivity

dynamicactivitypublic art

THIS IS A DESIGN STRATEGY USED TO EXPRESS COMMUNITY VALUES, ENHANCE ENVIRONMENTS, AND TRANSFORM LANDSCAPES USING WORKS

OF ART THAT HAVE BEEN DESIGNED WITH THE INTENT OF BEING SITED/STAGED.

Bishop’s Crossing will attempt to inspire engaged dialogue by infusing public art throughout the site, in which we hope evolves a location of visitation. The City of Cambridge currently promotes pubic art through their Public Art Policy, which establishes a Public Art Reserve Fund through contributions equivalent to 1% of capital construction budgets. As the City looks to acquire a variety of public art over time, their targets work hand-in- hand with Bish-op’s Crossing. Elements of public art are often drawn from natural significance of the region and historical community. As such, we attempt to embrace the industrial history and nature of Bishop’s Crossing through public art installments throughout the site. Art will draw out on the industrial background, but will also work to bring industrial uses to the human-scale, deducting from its harsh reputation. These element will illuminate the past but also bring it forward into today’s contemporary landscape for continual embrace and protection.

industryTHE INDUSTRIAL CHARACTER THAT HAS GROWN WITH

THE SITE WILL BE RESPECTED AND RECOGNIZED

THROUGH THE PROVISION OF SPACE FOR EXISTING AND

NEW INDUSTRIAL USES TO FLOURISH, PRESERVATION

OF RAIL FEATURES AND CREATION OF PUBLIC SPACES

WHICH DISPLAY THE SITE’S HISTORIC PAST.

The reintroduction of trades and craft-based commu-nities that once populated the site will be encouraged by providing spaces and uses to attract them. Inno-vative and expressive spaces will also be provided to bring users together, draw on existing connections, and display them publically to increase a sense of community. As the rail line is an important aspect of Preston’s history, Bishop’s Crossing will work to respect and protect the active line from encroachment by us-ing landscape buffers and surrounding it with passive land uses that do not conflict with its operations. The decommissioned rail will be respected in a different light, as the linear trail will pay tribute to the history of Preston and importance of rail andindustry in the town’s development.

3To correspond with the print material, PLAN 313 students were required to create a 3D model of their redeveloped vision for the subject site. The process started off by es-tablishing the topographic layers to cut, through GIS and AutoCad. Once the base had been created, the site’s mass-ing typology was analyzed in SketchUp and cut individually in the woodshop. We took advantage of the assignment’s allowance for creative freedom and used a variety of tools, found objects, and a range of art materials to create our fi-nal product. Since this area of Cambridge has a strong his-tory rooted in its industrial lands, it was a collective decision to use nails, screws, pins, and different kinds of wire as an ode to the city’s past. The proposed districts, new land uses, and preservation of green space were emphasized visually, so the audience is aware of the adaptation techniques used between both the existing and planned contexts.

rehabilitate(ree-huh-bil-i-teyt) | verb |

In its essence, rehabilitation is restoration to a state of good health, condition, operation, or management. As a community design approach, it entails repair of deteri-orating features for a new or continued use. This method of treatment is unique, as it presents an opportunity to re-establish an efficient contemporary use from previous infrastructure; this renewal process is important in im-plementing a growth-based design which respects the community’s past walks of life. We aspire to create our new concept for Bishop’s Crossing using this approach. We intend this redevelopment to rehabilitate the site, while also maintaining and enhancing its heritage.

strategic direction:

“bishop’s crossing”The name Bishop’s Crossing signifies the transition and theoretical crossroads from the past to the future. Bishop Street is the focus of the commercial development and will exemplify the themes of the site. Focused around Bishop Street will be new commercial develop-ments, mixed with existing. This mix of new and old is a perfect rep-resentation of the goals of the rest of the lands. New developments will be integrated with existing buildings around the site. The name also represents the many crossings in the subject area. The two rail lines cross Bishop Street, Dolph Street, Montrose Street, and Lawrence Street. These rail crossings, along with the crossing from the old devel-opment to the new are critical to the success of the site.

Naturalized vegetation areas will have denser vegetation than manicured spaces. These spaces will serve as habitats for the local flora and fauna. In terms of sustainability, it is critical to have naturalized vegetation on the site. This vegetation also serves as a natural barrier between public and private spaces.

Manicured vegetation consists of gardens and areas that are formally landscaped. These ar-eas serve as paths, congregation areas, and transitions between hardscapes and naturalized veg-etation. An example of this would be the Industrial Forest. This urban forest serves as a space for groups to gather in the plaza, while subsequently being a transition zone between the hardscape of the street to the nearby naturalized vegetation.

Hardscape is all areas that are open to the public and paved over. These include plazas, parking lots, and open air shopping malls. These also serve as paths and congregation spaces. They are also more accessible spaces than manicured vegetation, since the hard surfaces enable easier movement for those using mobility devices.

Programmed space includes sports fields, public buildings, and institutional buildings. These spaces are built for specific purposes, such as a soccer field or a museum. They serve as reasons for individuals to come to, and stay in, certain areas of the site.

SITE DESIGN [excerpt]: Project Haven

5 YASMIN AFSHAR ANITA HELMERS DANIEL WATCHORN EUNICE WONG COREY YUEN WENXUAN ZHANG

Uniting Redevivus with “Project Haven”, we strive to achieve integrated sustainability. Using a multi-tude of techniques, we aim to link the past, present, and future throughout our design. Maintaining the past involves preserving historical features while adapting their use to the present context. Enhancing the present requires growth from past mistakes, and designing for the good of the entire community, human and nature. Sustaining the future implies planning for the unknown, and developing through low impact methods. This integrative approach balances social, economic, and social components, ensuring a site which adapts to the changing times.

Sustainability in its essence is a path towards permanence, being the ability of something to remain, yet grow with the times. For something to be permanent it must be unique, have identity, and exude intra-generational justice. These are the key traits that we envision for Yorklands Greenhub. We intend this proj-ect to be distinctive, with features that enhance the rich history and charac-ter that are already present. It will also be eco-friendly, using all native plants, cutting edge green technology, ecological urbanism approach to the design.

reuseThis section con-tains plant species for phytoremedia-tion to reduce and eliminate contam-inants within the site’s soils. As well, the species used are all native to Canada.

This portion is com-posed of plants that can be co-opted by humans to fulfill a particular need such as medicine. The products will be pro-cessed in the pro-duce workshop and sold in the market.

This component contains a vari-ety of perennial plant species that will provide the site visual appeal throughout all seasons of the year.

The RRR (‘Reduce Reuse Recycle’) Garden

The entrance archway to the site provides high visual interest using dynamic gardens as well as ensur-ing effective pedestrian flow with

a roundabout.

The redevelopment initiative sparked by Yorklands Green Hub led up to this last PLAN 309 as-signment, where design groups had to present their final vision for the site. The site is currently occupied by a former prison, and consists of mostly overgrown greenspace, which the developer hopes to re-store and conserve. Under the theme of ecological urbanism, our firm had the intent to instill adap-tive reuse strategies rooted in low-impact development mindsets. Throughout the design process, this assignment helped me develop an understanding for the social, eco-nomic, and social componments of a large scale master plan.

This concept had been individually selected by the Client, Yorklands Green Hub, as an excellent vision for the site; it was displayed at the Organic Conference in Guelph, Ontario, in January 2016.

• The things stressed by weather have changed: Our population has doubled, we have more possessions, we invest money in different things, and we have different needs and activities.

• There is an increase in city living: The weather behaves differently on surfaces like asphalt or large paved lots and the result has been an urban heat island effect.

• Water runs instead of in�ltrates due to increased hard surfaces.

• We LIKE the Hollywood factor of extreme weather: There is high media coverage on the subject; they are attractive and exciting.

• We are re-engineering the landscape: There are rapid runoffs, drained wetlands, and land is being reclaimed from the sea.

• We are experiencing weather that is rare and multifaceted• The multitude of moderate events causes resources to be depleted• Storms are forming in warmer moisture atmospheres• 60% increase in precipitation damage claims (Insurance Bureau of Canada)

• Seasons are becoming unpredictable, “Weather whiplash”• We made decisions based on the “normal” climate and weather from the 50s to the 70s• This was the most environmentally stable period in history, so we did modelling/ building all based on this period

• Focus on jetstreams: Rivers of air 8-15 km above the earth are now slower and dipping/diving• They cause the weather and climate from other areas in the world to impact us, and vice versa• Arctic ice conditions are changing, which impacts the world’s weather

“We are experiencing the same weather, but with a new character,with a different personality.”

BECAUSE WE HAVE CHANGED,OUR RESPONSE TO WEATHER HAS CHANGED

More rain fell in the July 2013 storm in Toronto than with Hurricane Hazel in 1954

FACTS CLOSE TO HOME:

The last cold weather record was in 1916, before last year in 2015

Peterborough flood, 2004: Enough rain fell to fill 9 skydomes

Toronto flood, 2013: Most targeted storm in an urban area in Canadian history

Burlington, 2014: 190 mm fell in the city in a few hours,but no rain reached Hamilton

A 1 degree Celsius increase in the Earth’stemperature has resulted in 4 times the

number of extreme weather eventsover the past 30 years

WHY SHOULD WE WORRY?IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE:

“We’re at greater risk and we have to learn to live better with the climate that we’ve got.”

SUSTAINABILITY EDUCATION SESSIONDAVID PHILLIPS, ENVIRONMENT CANADA

David Phillips, Senior Climatologist from Environment Canada shared with us his perspectives and findings on how climate change impacts us as humans and how we should be approaching the future. In the last decade, there have been major changes in how climate change has been studied. He spoke on how our lifestyle of possessions, large homes, and urban living has resulted in an environment that human history has never seen before. Extreme weather events are now the norm and it is up to municipalities to engage in strategic planning to meet these challenges, incorporate risk mitigation and create resilient infrastructure and facilities.

CITY OF OTTAWA - As-of-Right Zoning ModelsThis particular development proposal crossed three different zoning designations. As a tool to analyze its overall massing impact, I created as-of-right models in Sketchup to visualize the potential building. I pulled height requirements, setbacks, and stepbacks from the applicable by-laws, in con-junction with existing City guidelines. This practice later has been adopted for other complex projects and applications to the City.

YORK REGION -York One Initiative / Sustainability TalkI was tasked with creating a new logo for the York One Initiative, which is a municipal approach to streamlining all external and internal exchanges of information, throughout all of the Region’s departments. This is now used in document (memos, reports, letters) formats, and various promotional materials. // It was a typical practice to send concise minutes after large meetings or presentations, but I had noticed that they were usually formatted in a bland way. I decided, after a sustainability talk, to create a poster instead, to deliver information in a more captivating method.
