Student team wins Ottawa's Capital Riverfront Challenge

A student team from the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape won the Ottawa Capital Riverfront Challenge organized by the National Capital Commission (NCC). The winning interdisciplinary group includes Emily Kaing (MLA), Ji Sun (MArch), and Liyang Wan (MPlan), and was supervised by Professor Francisco Alaniz Uribe. Their submission, titled “Fluvial”, is a design vision for a new public park along the Ottawa River south shore inspired by the natural riparian forms and life. Amongst 12 other submissions from universities across Canada, their entry was the winning design.
