The first part of this series looked at provocative images of original Georgia St viaduct, FLEXERIL forum. This was followed by a close look at the current conditions in and around the modern Georgia and Dunsmuir Viaducts. Buy cheap FLEXERIL, Now we turn to exploring potential futures of the viaducts as proposed by UBC's LARC502B Landscape Architecture studio class that explored ideas to mend the disparate, large and introverted patches created by the large concrete structures.

Four different imaginings, FLEXERIL interactions, described below, Online buying FLEXERIL hcl, of how to transform the viaducts from unwanted infrastructure to a valued possession of the city were put forward for consideration. In the words of instructor Alyssa Schwann "we have twisted, prone, and planted them; pared them down and re-purposed them; and bound them up, buried them or removed them, FLEXERIL OVER THE COUNTER. All of the projects were driven by a shared understanding that there is something intrinsically exhilarating about the experience of walking suspended above and through the city. With this in mind, this studio explored how we can reclaim the viaducts and repurpose them in order to cultivate a place of euphoric nature for the people of Vancouver."

Descriptions of the proposals, buy FLEXERIL online cod, as written by their respective teams, FLEXERIL from canada, are as follows:

Picnic Park
Students: Michele Campbell, Laura Macdonald, FLEXERIL australia, uk, us, usa, Alex Suvajac

We feel that Vancouver’s park system is generally conducive to people circulating through, Ordering FLEXERIL online, but few parks form a strong destination. With respect to the Georgia and Dunsmuir viaducts - already significant circulation routes - we asked the question, how can we design this site to be viewed as a destination?

Along with this task, fast shipping FLEXERIL, another challenge facing us was to create an urban park that positively contrasts with the plentiful outdoor, FLEXERIL dose, nature experience that already exists in Stanley Park and the surrounding mountains.

To meet these two challenges - the creation of a destination-park which positively contrasts with the familiar nature experience of the Coastal Rainforest - we selected the idea of the ‘picnic’ as the thematic basis for our design.

The idea of the picnic is traditionally associated with celebrating food and play while bringing people together to create a rich experience. Situated on the border of several residential communities, at the viaduct park, FLEXERIL forum, these neighboring communities are encouraged to use the site as if it was their back yard. FLEXERIL pics, The goal of this constructed landscape is to inspire the type of activities that take place at picnics. The different spaces of the viaduct, such as the orchard, water front or meadow offer a variety of picnic spaces for a multitude of picnicking experiences.

In keeping with the idea of the picnic, we used the image of the picnic blanket as our metaphor to guide our forms and inspire the park’s topography, circulation, program and spatial qualities, FLEXERIL OVER THE COUNTER. In our design, we folded, is FLEXERIL addictive, gathered, Real brand FLEXERIL online, and stretched the blanket to create spatial qualities that not only shaped the site but created imaginative experiences for the park visitors. By draping the picnic blanket over the viaducts, a visual topography is formed, buy FLEXERIL without prescription, thereby realizing the picnic blanket metaphor by creating a park that connects the currently disparate communities into a cohesive patchwork.

Urban Pulse
Students: Dan Borslein, FLEXERIL steet value, Ania Duran, Jordan Mcauley

The Strand

Seen from a distance, the viaduct strings along the end of False creek and hangs around the Vancouver’s harbor like a graceful adornment.

PETCAM OVER THE COUNTER

April 21, 2011

PETCAM OVER THE COUNTER, Surely, my proximity to one of Vancouver's biggest, and most baffling, tourist attractions, the Gastown Steam Clock, which of course is no longer actually powered by the steam it emits- would be the impetus for my brief fascination of the ambiguously iconic steam vents that dot our city. PETCAM overnight, But I've been paying close attention to the material makeup of this mill town cum millennial hideaway for a decade now.

Images and Statement by Sean Orr

The steam vents themselves recall a mid-century modern pragmatism; the big pre-cast stone obelisks have a sort of federal efficiency to them, PETCAM pharmacy. PETCAM forum, And yet each is unique. Some have healthy Westcoast evergreen shrubs sprouting from the top, herbal PETCAM. Some are used as garbage receptacles, and more often than not, used for their warmth by the many homeless people that make-up the population of downtown Vancouver, PETCAM OVER THE COUNTER. PETCAM photos, This is my first project where I've deliberately set out to photograph a specific object, in this case a banal artifact of industrialism becomes an aesthetic figure, PETCAM natural. PETCAM without prescription, Most of my photographic encounters are chance. Since then I have found myself reading all the different manhole covers and more aware of engineer's markings, online buying PETCAM. Buy PETCAM without prescription, This kind of deliberate attention to detail is one of the aspects that make up Flaneuring, or the practice of the urban stroll, where to buy PETCAM. PETCAM OVER THE COUNTER, It was with this that I decided to document the vents. Purchase PETCAM, I knew little of them other than I knew they serviced The Hotel Vancouver, St, PETCAM price, coupon. PETCAM schedule, Pauls, Pan Pacific, order PETCAM from mexican pharmacy, PETCAM brand name, and the Post Office. The route I chose, PETCAM use, PETCAM no prescription, and my lack of research on the subject resulted in an interesting climax- a sort of urban prospector's bonanza. It was only afterwards did I realize this was a perfectly logical place for them to be, PETCAM cost.

Turns out, the Steam Clock and various vents are the work of Central Heat Distribution Ltd, PETCAM OVER THE COUNTER. Generic PETCAM, (CHDL)- a private district heating company located at 720 Beatty Street in Vancouver. Indeed I had noted and photographed these letters on manholes adjacent to the vents, PETCAM images. PETCAM canada, mexico, india, I had begun walking towards their building, thinking that the massive plumes of steam it emitted might be related, online PETCAM without a prescription, Purchase PETCAM online no prescription, but to be honest I thought the building was a linens company for some reason. I turned west up Georgia where I continued to plot the vents [Photos 1-13], PETCAM dose. PETCAM OVER THE COUNTER, I had read that an extension of the steam line had been granted so as to heat the new Shaw Tower but I couldn't see any steam vents. Order PETCAM online c.o.d, The base of the Shaw Tower emits a mist, but I am not sure if this is an homage to steam or a reference to the bow of a ship, PETCAM maximum dosage. PETCAM interactions, Then there is the vent at Canada Place which I assume is an homage to steamships. I then doglegged back to Pender and back across the city eastwards, PETCAM class. Cheap PETCAM no rx, I then traversed backwards to Burrard and up to Saint Pauls [Photos 1-25].

After such a long stretch without steam vents on Nelson and since I had reached the bridge decided to head home down Cambie Street, PETCAM OVER THE COUNTER. Along the way I peeked around behind the steam factory, fast shipping PETCAM. PETCAM dangers, I had found some sort of steam vent graveyard. I scrambled down the steep embankment next to BC Place and snapped away, rx free PETCAM. PETCAM over the counter, Some of them look like they were never used, some were in advanced decay, order PETCAM online overnight delivery no prescription. PETCAM OVER THE COUNTER, Some had gravel in them, other's their original shrubbery [Photos 26-33]. PETCAM dosage, Not all strolls will have such definitive endings, indeed the idea of an endpoint seems anathema to the concept of Flaneuring. Nevertheless, the point I want to leave you with is, that by paying attention to a seemingly mundane detail one can usurpthe dominant narrative of Vancouver and create a personal connection to the place they live.

Sean Orr is perhaps most widely known for his outspoken views expressed on the local bog Beyond Robson, where he deconstructs the daily news in a column called Morning Brew. He’s also active in the local music scene as a singer in the bands Taxes and Kidnapping. But it is photography where his passion lies as his 6000+ photo stream on the popular photo sharing site Flickr attests to, PETCAM OVER THE COUNTER. Orr’s recent show at Hotel Gallery saw the release of a self-published photo-book called Pretty Drifted. His previous solo outings were at Antisocial and Dadabase, and has shown in group shows at Misanthropy, Midtown, Butchershop, Little Mountain, The Peanut Gallery, Access, and at the Cheaper Show. Sean has been wandering this city for a decade now after dropping out of third year geography, and has been using photography mainly as a means of understanding how the city affects his psyche, and conversely how the psyche affects the city. He describes his recent photograpghy as, “the semiotics of the city of Vancouver; its materials and built environment, speak in a hidden language, readable to those who drift around, camera often in hand, ducking in and out of back alleys and brick buildings”..

In Focus: Homeless Voyeurism

August 5, 2010

Perhaps the fascination is the difference from our normal day-to-day lives. We’re repulsed, but we feel sorry for them. We don’t want them around, but feel we should help. Somehow. Some of them are very resourceful in their use of materials. Some are plain crazy, or have priorities very, very different from ours. Images and Statement by waferboard My morning commute takes me down the long hill of uptown New Westminster to Columbia Skytrain, and, at the other end, from Main Street up Quebec to a little shy of Broadway. Along the way, at both ends, are the regular and not-so-regular encampments of people – many who almost seem like neighbours after a while. Sometimes we exchange pleasantries of the “nice morning” variety. Seasons are important There are two main seasons for the homeless people I encounter: summer and the wet cold season. It’s rare to have the same person stay in the same spot for a year. Perhaps homeless isn’t the right word either. For some of these people, these spaces are home. I don’t know them well enough to know what happens to them. Where did Ben go during the Olympics? What happened to that friendly guy who doubled as the church’s grounds-keeper? They’ve both disappeared. Somehow I feel vaguely culpable. Could I have done more? Olympics There was a thriving homeless, or alternatively-domiciled community at the foot of False Creek up until the Fall of 2009. Many were “wheel” people. They had elaborate contraptions that were hauled by bicycles, and they seemed to migrate during the day from the shores of the inlet up the train tracks towards the Home Depot, and then back again. They’ve disappeared, and now the area is curiously devoid of baggage trains and their handlers. I’d like to think they were given homes, but I have to admit I’m skeptical. What’s really nourishing that sod roof of the convention centre? The photos These shots were taken over several years. They’re not ordered. I was most interested in how shelters were created, or absent. They’re biased towards 6th Street in New Westminster, especially the Anglican Church at the bottom of the hill by the Columbia Skytrain Station and the bit of Quebec just South of Terminal. [nggallery id=19] *** Other resources Flickr groups: Homeless in Vancouver: the name says it all. Ben’s Stuff : created by a co-work and myself to document the interesting character we think was called Ben. Ben didn’t talk, but he had a real thing for wheels. We think Ben and Izzy had something going for a while, and wrote notes to each other, which we carefully took photos of. Ben disappeared before the Olympics. I hope he’s ok. Blog post: I wrote a post about homeless people in New Westminster for the hyper-local blog Tenth to the Fraser. I then tried to fix it a bit on my “waferisms” blog: in January, 2009. It’s a little dated now. I should revisit it, because there have been interesting developments. Who’s “waferboard” I work for a publishing company, and some interest in what that word means now. By trade I’m a production artist, but I use the term “artist” rather loosely, ha! I can be found at: flickr & Twitter Blogs: waferisms.blogspot.com waferboard.blogspot.com waferboard.posterous.com

In Focus: Personalizing Space

June 17, 2010

City spaces are at once permanent and ephemeral. This photo essay looks at the how our spaces are used in unexpected ways. Images and Statement by Lisa Parker As a designer in the Vancouver area, I’ve spent a lot of time considering the physical layout of our public spaces: hardscape, vegetation, desire lines, views in and out of our parks, and the overall beauty of a space. When its built and opened, the design is implemented. Done. Hmm. Where it gets interesting is when people start to use the space. People use public spaces for odd things - some desirable, others not. Personally, I quite like both because it’s a way of personalizing a space and I like to photograph these moments. I enjoy the fact that someone can come along and use a space for something I would have never imagined. Hanging a shelf on the side of a massive concrete bridge footing so others can leave / take goodies as they choose? I’m smitten for this line of thinking. Taking photos of inside an abandoned historical building and then hanging the photos on the outside to inspire folks walking by who may not even notice the now boarded up structure? Again, its brilliant. Posting one’s opinion of a person’s parenting skills on the back of a street sign? I guess that is as good of a place as any other. When packing for a camping trip, I always say “if I am prepared for a specific thing to happen, it won’t.” In walking around Vancouver, this idea is the same. Designers have clearly ‘prepared’ for certain uses, have tried to limit others, and then are surprised by the actual ones. Those extra little additions are what make Vancouver ephemeral, inviting, and wonderful to live in. [nggallery id=18] *** Lisa Parker has been able to call herself a Vancouverite for the last six years. She is a parks designer and loves spending her days trying to make this beautiful place more enjoyable and usable. In the evenings, she's one of the Directors for Community Studio , a local non-profit that provides pro-bono design services for community-lead projects. With a so-so memory, photography has proven to be an excellent way for Lisa to 'remember' the details of the places she visits. More of her work can be seen on Flickr here and here on her blog.

In Focus: Vancouver City Nights

April 15, 2010

These photos showcase some of the areas around the city of Vancouver at night. Images and Statement by Kirk Takei As a visual person, I have always been fascinated by Light and Shadows and the varying degrees between them. Photography has been my outlet to capture this. I enjoy how lighting in general brings out details in a subject or inversely, hides them. When the subject is partially hidden in shadow, for example, I am fascinated on how the viewer's imagination fills in the details. As long as you can make out the silhouette of the subject, your mind fills in the missing areas to complete the picture. This is especially true for Night Photography, as much of the detail is left to the viewer's imagination. My fascination with Light and Shadow stems from this special way we "see".

While he enjoys all kinds of interests, photography has become one of his recent obsessions, due partially to the accessibility of digital photography over traditional photography. He is inspired by the works of other photographers, artists, and creative people and endeavours to improve on his own skills. He is drawn to images or scenes that evoke your imagination, highlight details that are easily missed and to ideas that spark enthusiasm. You can see more Kirk's photos here.

In Focus: Margins of the Functional

March 18, 2010

This series of photos was taken in and around Vancouver over the last two years. Filtered from over two hundred images, I selected these as the core of an exhibition I called "Development: A Pedestrian View", my first solo showing of photographic works which was mounted at Britannia Art Gallery in January 2010. Statement and Photos by aXo Upon reflection, I can trace the impetus for this project to a few winter nights in the 1990s when I found myself traversing the newly burgeoning highrise enclaves of Yaletown and Coal Harbour. A long-time pedestrian, it's always been my habit to wander in areas that are at the margins of the functional. It would likely be impossible to disentangle the personal from the social in an analysis of the impressions I received on those occasions. I sensed that these places were speaking to me in their stillness; hinting at the future, as it were. Around that time, I had purchased my first digital camera for business purposes and began to photograph features of the city that seemed to be addressing me in this newly discovered language. In retrospect, I realize that this language had already been propagated throughout large areas of the world, and especially in the United States, for the last hundred years. My own familiarity with it was a convergence of time and place. Upon reviewing these first attempts to capture something of the dialogue that had begun, I was struck by the potential of the still image to translate the conversation. The photos were not beautiful, nor technically sound, but the ideas were intact. As I began to delve into the history of art photography, I discovered numerous works that contained similar nuances, and though this laid bare the unoriginality of the concept, it at the same time validated it. Flash forward to the successful bid for Vancouver to host the 2010 Winter Olympics. Mega Projects were rolled out, one after another, and the real estate market morphed into an insatiable creature. More and more, I found the impositions of development confronting me around every corner, in every last marginal space in the city. The private organization of public spaces became ubiquitous and an iconography emerged: massive excavations that transformed views and devoured entire blocks of the past; clusters of tower cranes with their sweeping jibs; a million miles of portable fencing, cajoling and imposing an ordered movement; traffic cones and signs littering every major street in the city. This constant bombardment by the work of architects and engineers led me to wonder how others were perceiving the same stimulii. Did they gape in wonder at the splendid progress of the city, or did they sense a disconnect that heightened their own insecurities regarding place and survival? Were they content to have their passage through the city confounded and constrained by the numerous construction zones, or did they maintain a silent contempt for the activity as an exploitation of civic life for private profits? Could one be oblivious to these encounters, or was the subliminal effect powerful enough to penetrate the subconscious of any bystander?

He has experimented with many mediums, but believes photography most suits his nature. Taking the stance of a photo-flaneur, he conducts psychogeographic dérives during which he attempts to unveil visual subtexts within both urbanism and suburbanism. These activities have also lead him into the worlds of urbex and interventionist street art. Deeply influenced by the history and philosophy of photography, he mingles contemporary aesthetic concerns with cues from the mediums past in a documentary style that is guided by his humanism.

In Focus: Faces

December 24, 2009

I've had the idea of doing wide angle, unflattering portraits for a while now. It's an interesting way to see a version of yourself. Statement and Photos by David Denofreo These are characters that we all have inside and some of us only see them in the bathroom mirror when you're alone and the door is locked. To get in close and see every pore and hair, every little imperfection is a wonderful thing. People are not perfect and I'm grateful to those who are willing to share that with me. I hope with these portraits, the subject is able to embraced their own imperfections and find humor in them. I would prefer to capture the awkward moments. The photo that is taken when someone has their eyes half open and in mid spoken word. The worst timing for a photo is what want. With some faces, I would rather go for the extreme emotion. The great thing is, everyone has a unique face. With every new shoot I learn what works with their face and who they are. I don't always get it the first round, and Iím really happy that people are willing to come back for a second shoot so I can get it right. The hard part, and also one of the most enjoyable parts is working with the model. Trying to find that character they have inside is a lot of fun. Sometimes the character is right there and all it takes is for them to stick out their tongue! With other people I have to dig a bit deeper. Iíve only asked a couple of the people to participate in the beginning to get the ball rolling. The rest of the people in the collection have all asked me if they could participate after seeing the photos. [nggallery id=15] David works as a 3D artist specializing in environment art at Slant Six Games, a local video game company. Photographing textures to use as reference in his work slowly became a passion for photographing the buildings of Vancouver, "the older and dirtier the better." His photographic interests also include portraits using available light, burlesque beauties, everyday people in and around Vancouver, and occasionally, local bands. You can see more of David's work here.
