Digital Orca (2009) #publicart #sculpture of full-sized Orca aka "killer whale" (colloquial) by Douglas Coupland, #installation @ Jack Poole Plaza adj. to Vancouver Trade & Convention Centre West (Annex built for #2010winterolympics) • "Digital Orca ... acts as a #sculptural conduit that allows the viewer to travel in time between the past & the future ... addresses the massive changes currently reshaping the economy of the Province. Through the act of #pixelizing ... #3D - creates a crackling & unexpected sensation in the viewers mind - the #orca cliché is turned upside down & what we thought we knew well is rendered exciting & new ... colours & materials used in the sculpture’s surfacing evoke the everyday life of the harbour & the diversity of those ... working waterfronts of the Province." ~ Artist's Statement #Review excerpt: "Like Jeff Koons, it’s sometimes hard to figure out what kind of statement Coupland intends – but there’s no doubt that people find the work accessible & fun." ~ pricetags.wordpress.com/2010/05/13/digital-orca/ #douglascoupland #whalesculpture #3dart #vancouvernoir #vancouverbynite #vancouverbyzeenite (at Olympic Cauldron at Jack Poole Plaza)
Hats off to those who spend the extra $/effort to keep Vancouver Architectural History alive ~> CRAFTSMAN STYLE (1905 - 1930): derivation of The Arts & Crafts Movement (early 20th C.) Style Advantageous ~> Contagious: * "Arts in a Kit of Parts" - builders could take on without an Architect, * generally used locally sourced materials - wood. * Customized components + pre-fabricated sections were readily available using catalogues such as Sears, Montgomery Wards and Aladdin. * promoted simplicity with clean lines and evoked strength & quality in how the exterior components were placed. * Style's popularity spanning a 20-year period, several variations of Craftsman houses developed, three particular to Vancouver. * Traditional Craftsman * Vancouver Craftsman * Craftsman Bungalow * Open flexible design allowed the individual influence of each builder based on budgets & changes in taste over time ~> allowed adaptations in layout to suit both large & small lots in neighbourhoods across the city. FORM * tended to be set on smaller urban lots. * covered porches were either full width a predominant feature. DETAILS * Flared or squared porch posts framed the porch . * lower sections of porch posts were any combination of stone, concrete imitation of stone, brick or rough stucco. * porch was framed by a low-set balustrade, * stairs leading up to porch tended to be narrower * Roof Gable ends featured exposed soffits with large brackets (either single vertical post or with fancier diagonal “knee brackets”), * roof overhangs & exposed rafter “tails” plus wood detailing known as “dentils” along horizontal banding * Windows often double-hung with leaded or stained glass transom, * Stained glass was generally limited to piano windows on side walls, * Front door often had a window inset in the upper portion (transom) with sidelights (optional). MATERIALS * Reflecting local sources, most common material: wood. * Cladding: shingles on main body with lap siding covering lower portion. Stucco & divider boards used as accent in front gables. #craftsman #craftsmanstyle #craftsmanhome #heritagehouse #vancouvernoir #vancouverhistory #vancouverbynite (at Kitsilano)
