The elimination of pedestrian presence at street level formulated the isolation experienced at Jackson Square podium in Downtown Hamilton. The proposal of the Aquatic Centre is an opportunity to rethink the city through enhancement and restoration of public courtyards, the revival of strong landmarks, frontages, and street life. The JacksonSquare podium will be into smaller blocks and restore the grid of streets that existed two decades ago. Aiming to enhance sensory occurrences within the Aquatic Centre.
