Seeking to reconnect the fragmented nature of the proposed Vaughan Metropolitan Centre master plan, framed by Highway 400 and Black Creek, this thesis appropriates an excess of excavated materials from high-rise construction to form a new civic park, school, and community center.

The discrete demands of institutional, civic, and environmental programs create a rich hybridity of landscape, recreation, community outreach, and educational spaces. Providing opportunities for engagement between humans and nature strengthens the generous potential of this site and embraces the synchronization of interactions, producing a synergetic urban landscape.
