Summary
The key components of the Vancouver Orphaned Spaces project include a map of all the orphaned spaces and parking lots in the Grandview-Woodlands neighborhood and a transformation of one space. This marks the first time a map of this kind has been created in Vancouver. The map is intended to be a valuable resource for locating future City projects including orchards, community gardens, farmers markets, community events, parks and more.
Our intention with the transformation of one orphaned space is to contribute to the City of Vancouver’s Access to Nature goal, demonstrate the potential of orphaned spaces, install an interactive art piece in the form of a picture frame and to embody the ideals of the community in a transformative landscape plan.
