University of Waterloo students Vincent Chuang and Zihao Wei propose repaving an alleyway in the growing metropolis of Kitchener, Ontario, and transforming it into a cultural corridor. Some of their amenities — like the brewery, artists’ residence and maker space — would reside in a repurposed brick structure. Others — like the pottery, sculpture, glass-blowing and performance studios — would inhabit infill buildings in former parking lots. The kitchen, meanwhile, would come with a public greenhouse. Before drawing up their plans, the two interviewed local residents to ensure that the program reflects their needs.
