Throughout the site, the varying qualities of the built topography and its materiality strongly suggests direct movement of rainwater towards drains.

The ground slightly dips and rises depending on its adjacencies to built forms and infrastructure. I observed how the narrow indented spaces between tile pieces created little streams as water accumulated, while the tiles themselves created stiller puddles. This relationship of the “in-between” and the built form can be seen at a multitude of scales and starts to question the holistic system of urban design.

This assignment focuses on Hikkaduwa, a beach town in my home country Sri Lanka. The small town is full of vibrant people, environments, music and ruled by the power of the ocean that surrounds it. Days here are spent swimming in the water, surfing, drinking coconuts and exploring the local environment. Focusing on the element of sound in my site plan – the loud, calming sounds of waves crashing on the beach are constant, while the cacophony from ongoing traffic of tuk-tuks and buses pose an interesting juxtaposition from the tranquil ocean.

Adam Larsen – Assignment 01: Home Ground

This site plan is set on the corner of Dugas and Seventh in my home town of Dawson City, Yukon Territory. It felt important to reference my childhood spent here, so the houses are playfully hand drawn (my own in blue), the trees are LEGO toys, and the cars are Hot Wheels. Dawson was a secluded place where we depended on meat we hunted for, and shared with our neighbors. Dotted throughout the plan are deer, moose, and some black bears.

My neighborhood plan is intended to showcase more characteristics of Dawson such as dirt roads, spaced apart houses, and autumnal bright yellow birch trees that are characteristic of the Yukon.

The final city plan of Dawson focuses more on it’s history. In the bottom right are rows of people who flocked to the city in the late 19th century for the famous Klondike Gold Rush. Part of the trek to get to Dawson was through the Chilkoot Pass, a mountain passage that colonists reached by the coast of Alaska. Portions of the trail were so treacherous, that many horses died on the journey.
