A Field Guide for the District of Stewart
This project is a tool to support rural communities in engaging their built environment within the more volatile social-economic and environmental context of the twenty-first century. The project builds on a semester long design research studio at the University of British Columbia collaborating with the District of Stewart to cultivate innovative visions for enriching their community. As part of the studio students developed a draft research report as well as twenty-two design proposals that form the basis of a field guide Stewart can use for planning into the future. The documentation serves as a supplement to zoning bylaws or community plans which typically lack useful design data and ideas tailored to the distinct settings of each rural community.
