A non-place is understood to be “a space which cannot be defined as relational, or historical, or concerned with identity“ (Augé, 1995, pp. 77-78). In the age of globalization, these spaces are becoming increasingly common, with roads being one of the most homogenized conceptions resulting from said movement. The travelling experience, however, is a significant element of the lived experience and contributes to the understanding of human existence. Therefore, it is important to evaluate how landscape architecture can be utilized to establish a sense of place in these oft overlooked spaces. Through literature review, background research, and site analysis, a site design is developed for Wellington Avenue, Winnipeg as a demonstration of how specific landscape architecture elements can be applied to a space in order to stimulate the travelling experience and place identity. / October 2016
