Rest Stop and Footbridge
Designer: PUSHAK

Designer: Saucier + Perrotte architectes
Location: Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
Image Credits: Marc Cramer
Riding the controversial line between public and private space, this research institute attempts to subvert the usual hard thresholds established by private enterprise in the public realm. The site is on the shore of Silver Lake, at the northern edge of Waterloo’s downtown core and the southern edge of the city’s central park. Adjacent to the primary pedestrian access between the university campus and the city center, the site is an urban wilderness between clearly defined worlds.
