Boathouse Pedestrian Mews and Marinaside Crescent
Shoreline west of Cambie Bridge Time Top looks like a 1940s-style space ship and represents fantasies of time travel. Its position on the shoreline encourages the idea that it has washed up from the depths of history.
By Alan Storey, Canada
Coopers Mews and Marinaside Crescent
Marinaside Crescent, between Davie and Coopers Mews
The imagery on the shelters and chairs on three balconies overlooking the shoreline walk trace the site’s natural and industrial history.
Coopers Mews 2002
The water emanates from the sculptural form, which might be a lotus flower, wheel or saw blade, all forms relating to the cultural and industrial histories of the area. NOTE: The large red ring gear in the median of Pacific was rescued from the Connaught swing bridge before its 1984 replacement by the current Cambie Bridge.
