Visualizing the Viaducts - Award of Merit & People's Choice Award Panels

Downtown Vancouver’s Georgia and Dunsmuir viaducts have carried traffic across CPR rail yards and industrial lands into the downtown core for the greater part of the last century. Rebuilt in the late 1960s under their current configuration, the viaducts were the first components of a never-realized freeway that was to run through the downtown neighbourhoods of Chinatown and Gastown.

This past month, the usually clean-cut men of PWL put away their razors to participate in Movember, the annual event that brings awareness to Men's health issues. These PWL guys, who documented their progress daily using Photobooth, started clean-shaven and gradually brought an array of strange and wonderful moustache forms to the office over the month. With dedication, moustache artistry, and patience from their significant others, they have raised $540 in donations for Prostate Cancer Canada and the Movember Foundation. Way to grow, men!

Many physical and social systems define a sustainable village; e.g., transportation networks and modes, public spaces, urban services, schools, housing and parking, recreation and commercial places. As host of the 2010 Winter Olympics and Paralympics, the City of Vancouver, British Columbia, created an innovative urban infill housing project called Olympic Village. The village is woven into Vancouver's dense and layered urban fabric that supports 700,000 citizens set with a metropolis of 2.5 million people.

It's been three years since the green roof was planted on Vancouver's new convention centre.

Is it a success? Is it as good as they promised it would be?

The answer is that some parts are terrific - attractive, quality planting; a beautiful habitat for songbirds and insect life.

But other areas are untidy, scrubby, a bit of a mess; you might even say, an eyesore, and a fair ways from what they could or should be.

Several times a week, a truck rolls up to a non-descript sheet metal-clad industrial building on Victoria's upper harbour. The trucks dump loads of small chunks of wood, waste that has been reclaimed from construction sites in the region and acquired from a nearby recycling facility.
