Vancouver, BC, Canada
Triangle Park is located in the Olympic Village along the False Creek seawall on the east side of Canada House. The park consists of a sculptural structure and a series of custom-designed wave walls that offer unique seating opportunities which become illuminated at night. The elements of the park are incorporated into a grass knoll, providing a soft area of respite along the industrially inspired shoreline.
The structure is intended to act as both a place-making device and a piece of art. The skeletal nature of the structure is a reference to ship building, with an emphasis on detail representing contemporary metal assembly techniques. The form of the structure mimics the movement of water, while its surface characteristics allow for a shimmer effect similar to that of light off the water’s surface.
