An Intervention of Public Art Maquettes
Community and Public Review
Saturday June 8, 2013, 1-4 pm
David Lam Park
The Artists Walking Home wayfinding team has been working with content generated during the experiences, walks, workshops and urbanist co-research we conducted in Yaletown during 2012, reviewing this master planned site in relation to actual community usage. On June 8th Catherine, Carter, Sandy, Adrian, and Vicky will share our first draft of a series of maquettes developed specifically for the park intervention, interpreting the actions and activities of wayfinders in Yaletown. The signage images present actual people who we photographed making their ways around the neighbourhood (socializing, exercising, playing, noticing, transiting, living, and creating), alongside accompanying text.

Please join us on the seawall near Elsie Roy School, west of the Roundhouse on Saturday June 8th where we will be installing our colorful circular signs in the park lawns for your review. We look forward to seeing you!

I’m urpised that they would put up the red one – that pretty “stand off-ish” and would foster the “snobbish” view that many take towards Yaletown.
That shoud read “surprised”
