Granville Street in downtown Vancouver has benefited from a recent re-design of its large street level electrical boxes. The Downtown Vancouver BIA has partnered with Emily Carr University of Art & Design to make the streetscape a little more visually interesting…and to help deter graffiti. For more information on the project and each design, visitors can scan QR codes located on each wrapped electrical box.

Coloured Logs
Design: Loose Affiliates
Client: Concept
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”

I regret to say I forget where I saw this. I assume in Vancouver, and I’d bet somewhere on Main Street. If anyone recognizes it and can fill in any details, I’d appreciate it. This is such a precious example of a dying art.

Camouflage Utility Cabinet

Another of the Vancouver camo utility cabinets. I like these! They’re different all around the city and while blending the boxes in with their background (or attempting to do so), the decals seem amusing, displaying some creativity and thoughtfulness in playing with a once drab urban fixture.

SCRIPT: Inside Outside
Design: Karen Kazmer and Todd Davis
Client: City of Richmond
Date: 2006
An evening landmark is created by “painting” the fly tower with colourful LED light displays. This changing work references the creativity of artists and the theatre producers in general, and at times, the current stage production.
