Green Gardiner: A Proposal for Creative Urban InfrastructureCalvin Brook
The Green Gardiner seeks to remove the blight and barrier effect of Toronto's elevated Gardiner Expressway by placing it over the railway, enclosing both the expressway and the railway with a new neighbourhood and a 9-acre linear park, while ‘releasing’ Lake Shore Boulevard to become a Grand Urban Street.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

The world is being changed fundamentally by AI and we are constantly faced with newspaper headlines about its harmful effects. However, there is also the potential to both ameliorate theses harms and use the new abilities of AI to transform society for the good. Can you make the difference?
You could be a professional graphic designer and still make mistakes. There is always the possibility of human error. On the other hand if you’re not a designer, the chances of making some common graphic design mistakes are even higher. Because you don’t know what you don’t know. That’s where this blog comes in. To make your job easier and help you create better designs, we have put together a list of common graphic design mistakes that you need to avoid.

1. REINVENTING CITIES,
Winning project: URBAN VILLAGE TEAM
Team representative: OBOS NYE HJEM AS
Architect: LPO Architects, SLA Architects
Environmental expert: BOLLINGER + GROHMANN, HUNTON
Developer: VIEDEKKE
2. This 2,200 sqm site is centrally located near the subway and Furuset centre, a transportation hub and
typical suburban area of Oslo. The site, currently used as a car park, is mainly planned for housing new
development is situated in the Grorud valley, which benefits from a governmental and municipal joint effort
to tackle the environmental challenges alongside the social challenges faced by the local population.
The site is centrally located at Furuset, near the subway and Furuset centre. Furuset is a typical suburban area of
Oslo, situated in the Grorud valley to the north east of the city centre.
3. the Furuset area was developed in the 1970s
and comprises housing units, schools, nurseries,
care home, a shopping mall, other commercial
properties and public services.
Furuset is a very multicultural neighborhood (with
140 nationalities represented). The team bidders
will have to address interesting challenges of
social integration for the redevelopment of this
site.
The Grorud Valley Action Program (a government
and municipal joint effort) was established to
tackle the physical, environmental, social and
educational challenges faced by the population.
Benefiting from this dynamic, Furuset has seen significant improvements and upgrades of public space, such as
verdensparken- a park with a parkour area, a reopened stream, better lightings, playground equipment and art in
public space.
The last couple of years, private housing companies have started upgrading their buildings after many years of poor
maintenance. After many years without any new construction, several heavier real estate developers have
positioned themselves for property development in the area.
4. The Urban Village project is designed with sustainability as the guiding parameter. The car-free project creates a
surplus of energy supported by passive house principles and photovoltaics that cover all the sun-exposed roofs
and facades. The BREEAM pre-analysis indicates an “outstanding” performance outcome. The project will achieve
a low carbon footprint by opting for wood products, such as wood fiber insulation. The nature-based design
principles furthermore promote resilience to climate-change.
5.
6. Key Components & Solutions
• The Urban Village is a carbon neutral project with an
extensive use of wood, renewables, car-free space and
green areas.
• The project is designed to produce more energy than it
consumes by reducing to a maximum its energy
consumption: it is energy positive. The energy production
is provided by a large surface of photovoltaic panels on
the façades and rooftops, as well as with heat pumps.
7. • Carbon neutrality construction is
largely achieved thanks to the use of
local materials, Cross Laminated
Timber for the building structure and
limited resource requirements, thanks
to compact building blocks.
• The project also promotes urban
agriculture and biodiversity with a large
greenhouse for herbs fruits &
vegetables. The green areas also
create different microclimates and
habitats in order to promote a
biodiversity of plant and animal species
on the site.
