Coloured Logs

Date: 2011

To celebrate this urban beach we would like to paint the beach logs in rainbow colours using a temporary, biodegradable paint. The natural pigments would fade over time, returning the beach to its previous ‘natural’ state.

Picnurbia. The Yellow Picnic Wave.

Design: Loose Affiliates
Client: Viva Vancouver
Date: 2011

PICNURBIA offers space for people to come together, relax and watch. Inserted into the urban downtown neighbourhood, a community where people already live, work and visit, the site is intended to become an easily inhabited summer zone, where people may gather to enjoy the long summer days. PICNURBIA is designed to offer an ‘on-the-block’ amenity where people can drop by on purpose or stumble upon more informally as they walk or bike home. This will establish PICNURBIA as a summer node, carried on mouth-to-mouth, “Let’s meet at PICNURBIA”
