New Thesis Project: Robsonstrasse
So I’ve figured out my new thesis subject: A redesign of ROBSON St., particularly the blocks between the Library and Broughton, to make it a proper and grand centre to the city of Vancouver. Some may think that I chose this new subject so that I could sit on the street all summer with a sketchbook picking up hot tourists… they might be right. I don’t like Robson so much, probably because it is so corporate, that there isn’t a place to sit, and that everybody gets crammed onto too thin of sidewalks. My intention is to look at more pedestrianized street like those in Europe.

So as a favour so that I can do a better project and make Robson a better place can you guys give me some ideas on what Robson St needs or could do without.
(Last project Whistler Village, BJ let me know that Whistler needs more Black people. So I designed a statue of Kanye West posing in front of a statue of Rosa Parks, Also designed a statue of White legislators debating Black history month)

There's nothing wrong with Robson Street. Economic success is the most important aspect of all of western society and it is decided entirely by market forces and consumer wants. You leave that welcoming, striving, diverse and inclusive commercial center alone!!
just a note of support with the blogging. I for one am interested in the developing goings-ons (as to whether or not that's "encouragement" however...).
