Expanded Canopy<br />
The proposed site for the garden canopy takes into account<br />
its expansive area and the maximum exposure to sun<br />
for agriculutural production. However, the canopy can be<br />
expanded and traverse the entire span of the railway that<br />
cuts through the city, creating an expanded green zone that<br />
connects north to south, and east to west, running from St.<br />
Jakob Park to the Zoo.<br />
Expanding the canopy to connect with Bahnhof SBB would<br />
provide the most logical strategy for an urban intervention;<br />
situating the canopy in direct relation to the busiest circulation<br />
point in the city.<br />
The railway is in close proximity to various points of interest,<br />
as well as various parks and greenspaces that are spread<br />
throughout the city. These sites can serve as the basis for<br />
potential entry points for walkways that cross the expanded<br />
canopy and create connections between areas of the urban<br />
fabric that had not existed before.<br />
