Crossroads l Cross of Culture
We, two Master of Planning students at SAPL - University of Calgary, are working on an academic project together with the community of Crossroads. We would love to involve you in this exciting process and know your thoughts on our project as well as about Crossroads! There are opportunities to engage through the tools below this description.
Cross of Culture is a design proposal that celebrates the unique backgrounds of people in Calgary. We propose to create lively markets in Mayland Heights and Vista Heights that represent the different cultural backgrounds of people living in the community. We hope that our proposal will help to remove the stigma associated with the city's northeast and is adopted by other communities too.
Check out 'Our Story' and 'Our Studio Journey' - a brief visual description of our studio process through the widgets on the right. You can learn more about our design proposal through:
1. Design Proposal Phase 2: Presentation (April 15, 2020) - https://vimeo.com/408532670
2. The images posted in 'C: Phase 1 Vision Posters' on the right

We would love to know about your experience with Culture! Please share a story!

The Asian street markets
The night markets in Bali & Bangkok, the electronics and toy markets in Hong Kong & Singapore, the antique markets in Hanoi, the flea markets in Phnom Penh. There is a thrill in visiting these places, venture out for a stroll, the street food experience with some local brew while watching live performances. The concept would work seasonally here, for a whole season, but the anticipation makes it exciting. We travel to open our minds to culture, why not bring that experience home?

Milan market
The historic food market in the heart of Milan is a glorious blend of history and cuisine. The wonderful old building is the context, the individual food stalls are nondescript, It is the food that is the hero. A central gathering place for locals and tourists alike, a dynamic mix of culture, food, people, music and architecture - a sensory extravaganza. One is my favorite places.
