DESIGN JAM PITCHES
Congratulations to Hannah Ng, Jamie Cheung, Kate Hsu, and Jessica Chan
for their winning pitch, "The Bentway Cave" !
PLAY CHALLENGE: "How might we make this a fun place for youth who hang around the Bentway after school?"
|
Project 1:
The Bentway Cave is a multi-purpose space for recreation and relaxation catered towards youth. It is a rock climbing wall and cave for studying and relaxing with green space, sleeping pods, wifi, and charging stations. |
|
|
Project 2:
This social recreational hub aims to make the Bentway feel like a safe, comfortable place for high school students to hang out. It includes a variety of amenities including a multi-use trail/ skating trail, soccer field, yoga space, cafe, seating, rock climbing walls, and interactive public art. |
|
|
Project 3:
Under the Gardiner are foldable bike racks that transform into a skate park. Beside this is a retractable roof that provides shelter during the winter, and allows natural light during the summer. |
|
|
Project 4:
A basketball court along the Bentway provides a public program for everyone to enjoy, whether coming alone or in groups. |
|
|
Project 5:
This proposal aims to create a safe and clean space with planted trees and bird feeders so people can interact with nature. There are trails for biking, walking and jogging where high school students can meet other people while exercising. |
|
MOVE CHALLENGE: "How might we transform King Street into a more enjoyable commute for young people?"
|
Project 6:
This proposal aims to make the experience of waiting for and riding on a streetcar more enjoyable. The streetcar shelter would have wifi and interactive displays that are accessible to all people (not just people with smartphones). There would be a dedicated transit lane and the streetcar would be equipped with wifi and napping pods. |
|
|
Project 7:
By adding another streetcar lane above King Street, the streetcar avoids traffic allowing more streetcars to be moved across King Street. |
|
EAT CHALLENGE: "How might we improve access to fresh, healthy food for young people living in Malvern?"
|
Project 8:
The Weekend Dinner Club provides a space for high school students to cook, eat, and sell food, which is supported by donations from the community. The club is a place to socialize and meet mentors, and offers child care services. |
|
|
Project 9:
The Collegiate Kitchen is housed at a local school kitchen, and offers group cooking lessons with free dinner. It is run by volunteer school teachers and sponsored by local businesses like grocery stores. |
|
We hope these ideas are just the beginning of a new generation coming together, finding creative solutions to different challenges in our cities. Stay tuned for upcoming events!
