Concept Review - Colonia Federal

Basemaps created to clarify site conditions:
Existing + Proposed Border Stations
Flows + Movement Systems
Borders + Boundaries

Out of this understanding came three proposals for the site:

COMMUNITY 'en' BORDER
Opening up the 'space' of the Border to allow the Arts District to flourish and take full advantage of this adjacency to the 'Line' in a continued dialogue between two nations in one place:


CROSS-CANAL CONNECTION
Infusing a large scale pedestrian connection back into Tijuana city, allowing a rich explosion of retail + civic space as well as cultural + performance venues at and along the Tijuana River Canal:


REGIONAL TRANSIT HUB
Amplifying the flows and movement systems already existing on site and proposing a more robust and structure public transit system (trolley, bus) for local traffic as well as introducing a regional transit station to identify the site as an arrival and departure point to/from many locations around the San Diego/Tijuana Region:
