The route through this project winds in and out of urban surfaces to reveal memories embedded in the land. It documents forgotten and dormant prairie events so that they might be woven back into the fabric of the city. The purpose of this project is to transfer explored and speculative experience into a physical route through the urban prairie landscape. It is an effort to expose the layers clinging to physical memories rooted in the prairie. explore . expose . absorb 004 ‘shadow tracing’, winnipeg sidewalk, 2003 shadows I 037 II 104 III 166 005 006 CONTENTS 004 Abstract 009 Using this Book I 011 EXPLORATION 013 Methods 017 A Brief History of Tall Grass Prairie in Manitoba 027 Heritage 029 Memory 032 Time 035 Experiments 038 Case Studies II 067 MAPPING 069 Mapping History 075 Timeline of Human Movement and Land Usage in Southern Manitoba 083 Time and Mapping 084 Layers of the Site 089 The Prairie Place 091 Site Analysis - Mapping Change III 131 DESIGN 131 Design Intention 134 Interventions x007 008 initial site inventory USING THIS BOOK This book has been structured to correspond with the design process used throughout ‘FIELD WORKS’.
