This work is inspired by the railway
and cooperage that were in the
area in the early 20th century.
When the boardwalk planks are
stepped on, the barrels overhead
release steam and sound.

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.
