Dockside Green in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
“A model for holistic, closed-loop design, Dockside Green will function as a total environmental system in which form, structure, materials, mechanical and electrical systems will be interrelated and interdependent – a largely self-sufficient, sustainable community where waste from one area will provide fuel for another. Here you will find a dynamic environment where residents, employees, neighboring businesses and the broader community will interact in a healthy and safe environment, reclaimed from disuse and contamination.”
