| The
City of Calgary approached BKDI Architects to develop a land-use outline
plan and architectural guidelines for the former General Hospital
site. The goal of the development is to accommodate 1,500 residential
units. BKDI's role includes determining dimensions of proposed city
blocks, roadway widths, traffic calming measures, pedestrian systems,
building heights, massing, approaches to landscape design, provision
of open space and public amenities. This comprehensive process of
concept design involves budget analysis, significant community participation,
approvals processing and political interaction. |
