My mother for supporting me, and father for being my driver, my sister Sabina and brother Mo for all their help & love, and my brother Ali for always being my life support! To the constant friends in my life for being there, and listening to me rant. And finally to my husband Faraz, without whom I would not have been able to get though a single day of the last two years... and without whom my thesis would have been riddled in errors. 2 ABSTRACT: Nine years ago, half of the Somerset life.

  • Action Sandy Hill Comments on the CEDCSP, Jan. 4
    January 2021 Notes on Sandy Hill in the new Central and East Downtown Core Secondary Plan (CEDCSP) • In the draft new Official Plan, Sandy Hill is part of the newly designated Downtown Core Transect. Sandy Hill's Secondary Plan (originally conceived in 1979) has been folded into a new Central and East Downtown Core Secondary Plan. • In general, the role of secondary plans is to provide the strategic planning direction to guide future development and redevelopment. While the Official Plan contains policy direction, SPs begin to use more specific geographic and neighbourhood references to guide future development and redevelopment. A further level of direction is found in Community Design Plans (such as the one for Upper Rideau). • The new CEDCSP has amalgamated Sandy Hill, Centretown, and seven additional downtown areas into one document. The Centretown and Escarpment chapters in the Plan are markedly more developed as they have been through a community design process in recent years. • Action Sandy Hill’s (ASH) position is that the Sandy Hill section of the new CEDCSP, in particular compared to its compatriots with community design plans, fails to: o Acknowledge and describe the existing conditions, pressures, and challenges of the plan area (for example, that Sandy Hill is a near-campus neighbourhood to uOttawa, that it has suffered degradation of its built environment); o Articulate the cultural and heritage character and values of the plan area (for example, the entire plan area needs to be assessed for its heritage character–not just

  • Building a Memory
    Building a Memory Reactivating a Lineage of Community Life at Centretown’s 330 Gilmour Street By Emily Jung Essex A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfllment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Architecture Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2020 Emily Jung Essex Abstract Centretown, one of Ottawa’s oldest residential neighbourhoods, has continuously been evolving since its establishment in the late 18th century. The 21st century pressure for densifcation in this now urban mixed-use neighbourhood is increasing the need for community resources, while at the same time pushing them out. Centretown’s vacant and neglected 330 Gilmour Street, the former Ottawa Public School Board Administration Building, provides a place to establish the missing public space within the community. By adaptively reusing all three additions - 1922, 1956 & 1963 - along with new interventions in 2020, Centretown’s newly established ‘Meeting Place’ binds itself to its lineage of intangible social histories as an expression of community memory characterizing each volume into four places - A Place to Be, Gather, Create and Grow. The four places under one roof assist in providing a burgeoning future for community life in Centretown through representing the historic lineage of community memory at the Meeting Place.
