From October
1st - October 15th 1999 Borderline Developments
installed a portable office, billboards and a GPS
(Global
Positioning System) controlled robot on the contaminated Lebreton Flats
site, in Ottawa, Canada.
This was
one of two sites of the project; the other being a web site from which
potential customers could view the
availlable lots for sale and the associated historical and toxic information
for each lot.
A web-based drawing pad allowed customers to design their own ideal homes for a contaminated environment.
The robot
then drew the completed designs with field chalk, plotted via the Web
site to the GPS,
onto the Lebreton Flats in Ottawa.
The 'Images' pages in this section allow access to photographic documentation of this process
The 'Lot Information'
pages in this section allow access to the preliminary stages of the drawing
program and
selected plans from greylands.ca.
The 'Historical
Residue' pages allow access to comprehensive images and maps tracing
the history and toxicity of the site.
