Based on our knowledge of the Bridgeland - Riverside community and the site analysis we conducted, our team formulated redevelopment objectives - a comprehensive vision of what we were trying to achieve through our design. We had the valuable opportunity to meet with the residents of the Bridgeland - Riverside community midway through our project to discuss our proposal with them. Together with our instructors, they provided us with another perspective, without which our plan could not have been complete. We made the best effort to incorporate the concerns they raised into our final design.
