In conjunction with the Senior Research Studio of Fall 2022, my partner and I took to develop and design a smaller scale architectural intervention – a pedestrian canopy, that could improve downtown Halifax. During the first half of the course, we used Grasshopper and various plug-ins (Elk and Urbano) to extract data sets from OSM and ARCGIS to find problem areas within the downtown. Using data on pedestrian volume, street lights, crime hot spots and commercial areas, we were able to analyze a potential correlation. As a result, Teegan and I proposed the creation of a sound-to-light activated pedestrian canopy that would act as a safety measure, an urban attractor, and a rain collection device. This would work in conjunction with the data analyzed from the Studio course; including policy analysis.
