Masters Thesis
Vertical gardens are extremely limited in cold climates. Hydroponic systems are out of the question, and soil bearing designs are currently very limited. The thesis undertook the challenge of designing a vertical garden system that would thrive in cold climate urban environments. This spread shows concept sketches of the final design; a soil bearing system that is planted with native plants from various Manitoban plant communities, many of which are currently threatened or rare in Manitoba.
The design framework was undertaken within microclimate conditions unique to vertical gardens, as well as neighbourhood and regional (micro)climates. Parameters followed for vertical garden design in Winnipeg are: to ensure that lightweight materials are used, to provide insulation to protect plants from sudden temperature changes, to choose plants that grow in the region and are adapted to grow in areas with limited soil, increased wind, varying degrees of sunlight (depending on orientation), and increased pollution and salt spray depending on location.
Theories relating to the study of green walls covered in the thesis include the human ecosystem model, urban reconciliation ecology, habitat templating, the urban cliff hypothesis, and wall ecology. To read the thesis in full, click here.
Rainwater harvesting irrigates the garden, while plants provide critical habitat for animals and invertibrates.

Research was conducted into current and historic vertical garden designs and compiled into the timeline seen above. It was found that vertical gardening has been a part of city life for a very long time, but a recent surge in technological advancement of the systems used has resulted in more projects and more awareness from the public.
Exploration of habitat templates was ciritcal to the process of designing the vertical garden. Many different types of habitats were studied both through academic papers and personal observation. Focus was placed on cliff analysis and site visits, documented on the right. The main habitat templates referenced in the design are cliffs, the Sandy Lands at Spruce Woods Provincial Park, mixed grass prairie, prairie pothole and alvars, shown below.

Urban analysis of downtown Winnipeg was undertaken through digital simulations using climate data and building massing. Analysis focused on optimal facades for vertical gardens at different heights. Shown to the left are the optimal locations at a 12m elevation. To the lower left are screencaptures of the modelling and simulation process undertaken. Above is a district map of the study area.
Selected facades had to be highly visible to visitors and residents of the downtown, near public transit, near entertainment venues, face North-West and are relatively protected from strong wind. The final site selected, labeled below as City Place fits all the criteria listed, and is a reinforced concrete structure capable of holding the extra weight of the garden.

The vertical garden design is the result of folded planes that protrude at different distances in response to the length of plant roots that will grow there. The plants are selected from habitat templates that have similar characteristics to their corresponding position in the wall microclimate. Plant diversity and abundance will shift over time, the upper left is an example of how it could change. Seeds will be introduced and distributed by birds and other animals, which will change the diversity of the wall.
The proposed vertical garden will fit into existing bays of the Hargrave facade of City Place. These bays currently contain signs for businesses housed within the building, and stucco panels. The gardens
will be installed above the signs, creating a new layer of intrigue and a new, greener image for the businesses represented.
During the winter, the garden will be covered with a brightly coloured tarp, to protect the plants from the cold weather. Shrubs will be wrapped individually, while herbaceous plants and grasses will either be trimmed or flattened, so that the tarp accentuates the overall form of the garden, providing a dynamic and colourful break from the Winnipeg winter landscape.
The gardens at city place will be the first vertical gardens in Winnipeg to grow herbaceous plants, grasses and shrubs.

The following project is an example of how landscape ecology principles can help inform the way a development is organized. Looking back on the analysis performed of the site earlier in the term, Tamara was able to combine many of the economic aspects of site selection, together with the ecological principles of patches and corridors. Her port will build greater landscape connectivity and increase species flow around the airport, by introducing native plant species around the western side of the port. It is through this integration that we can help mitigate negative urban effects like the urban heat island phenomena, pollution, storm water runoff, and reduced heating and cooling costs. The potential for this new form to also carry a recreational program is heightened by this approach. A destination created through the marriage of the port and recreational programs will make the industrial port condition not only the first of its kind to adhere to landscape ecological principles, but also a first class destination for residents around the city and world.

The Fisgard Art Park creates a link that is currently missing between the downtown commercial district and historic Chinatown. This is, by definition, a mid block alley because of its main purpose is to bring people through the space. Fisgard Art Park offers more than just a short cut, by showcasing art by Canadian artists and by showcasing a recreation of a Garry Oak Woodland. The Garry Oak woodland is currently in danger in Victoria and across the West coast, and this project, though small, intends on creating a higher awareness of this ecosystem.

Through the preservation of a historical set of building facades in the Fisgard Art Park along Pandora Avenue, a historical connection will be maintained to what used to be on the site. This area was once home to the largest Chinese population in Canada, so it is an important place to preserve both for British Columbia and for Canada. The facade is now an important gateway to the site, the gateway being the most obvious of the Chinese elements to the design.
The influence of Chinese culture and design traditions is strong in the park. Elements such as stone, flowers and trees, and water, a bridge, and a Tea Shop have been included in the design. Vertical elements are seen throughout the site, in the form of lamp posts. Additional vertical elements in the form of sculptures are to be included (and approved by the landscape architect) during initial construction of the site.

This project was done as a detailed design in conjunction with an arboretum master plan for SMARTPark. The site is currently known as the U Lot at the University of Manitoba.
The goal of the design was to create a demonstration piece of how bioswales and permeable paving could help make parking lots more people-friendly environments, and help hopefully minimize many issues facing urban areas today such as pollution and water management. The occurrence of bioswales at regular intervals would collect and filter runoff

while also providing habitats for smaller birds and butterflies. The project also emphasizes plants as elements for wayfinding.
Through the use of specific ornamental shrubs with contrasting leaf and bark colours, different zones of the parking lot are differentiated, to aid with wayfinding. A 6 metre pedestrian corridor runs diagonally through the parking lot and over the swales to connect SMARTPark to the University.
The Visitor Center for the University will share its entrance with a crowd of ornamental shrubs with shelf-like tiers of different varieties all rising gradually towards the entrance. The effect will be similar to that of an amphitheatre, with the building as the stage and the shrubs as members of the audience.

Section 3: Typical Diagonal N-S Bioswale
The Master plan for the SMARTPark Arboretum was designed to showcase various types of vegetation from trees and shrubs to an assortment of prairie grasses and herbaceous plants. Both deciduous and coniferous trees would cover most of the site and would include Oak, Aspen, Maple, Willow, Ash, Elm, Linden and coniferous trees. A fruit bearing orchard, something not often seen in Manitoba would also be included as well as two different prairie conditions of tall and mixed grass varieties. A couple of wetland ecosystems, namely a fresh
water marsh and a fen were also introduced into existing constructed wetlands that were suffering from algal blooms, regulating the water levels, and a prevalence of geese. The U Lot Parking design will incorporate both wetland ecosystems (in the form of bioswales) and a variety of ornamental shrubs that will be present only in that sector of SMARTPark. The Parking lot is intended to become a hybid space, useful for both people and cars, and also serving the larger ecological community of the University of Manitoba campus and SMARTPark.

water treatment
Typical Section
A series of gray water treatment ponds will purify the waste water of 1200 residents in Waverly West and be mostly inaccessible to the public for safety and sanitary reasons. Vegetational screens and physical barriers will surround the ponds. The wetland marsh will originate at the existing treatment ponds of Fort

Whyte Centre, and end up in the Red River, approximately 4 Km east of the interchange. This 7.5 km long wetland corridor will be used for further aeration of the treated water, and for boating, swimming, skating and other ice sports during the long winter months. Plants with a high salt tolerance will be chosen for areas beside the roads.
