Proposal

Objectives: Propose a strategy to develop both sites, in the east and the west end of the Tsuut’ina Nation land. Particular attention is to be given to the boundary line between the Nationa Land and the City of Calgary or Bragg Creek, respectively. Formulate this transition as a cultural/spiritual/social/physical applying the framework of ethical space in its possible physical representation. Utilize the diagrams developed during the Analysis phase as a translator between theoretical and physical/ geographical design.

Deliverables: Expected is a substantial contribution to the wider discourse around the various question of cross-cultural approaches to design. Experiment with developing an alternative storyline for the site and the boundary line where your proposal connects to the existing fabric outside the reserve land. Clearly formulate a position as to what cross-cultural design in a practical sense. Propose a series of functions that tie in with the location and context. The proposal includes a description of the program identifying functions and flows. Do consider phasing and temporal usage over different cycles. The visualization is open but is considered part of the strategy recognizing that they, too, in itself, represent both a cultural and social framework. Consider the use of collages, renderings, plans, sections, drawings, and sketches at appropriate scales do visualize the proposal critically and alongside alternatives, such narratives, stories, paintings, murals, practices, and so on.
