Interactive Station: Rain Water and Salmon in the City
Saturday, March 16, 2019
City rainwater is typically flushed away quickly, out of sight and into our pipes. City of Vancouver and Salmon-Safe BC invite you to learn about useful, strategic green infrastructures that encourage nature’s return to the city. This interactive pop up station illustrates how we can manage rain in a way that provides salmon habitat, improves water quality, and celebrates water within our urban centres.

The Future is Bright - How Light and the Moving Image are Shaping a Paradigm Shift in Urban Design, A Public Speaker Event with Bruce Ramus
Wednesday, March 13, 2019
We are at the beginning of an evolution. Light sources become moving images, which become skin-like, integrated surfaces that form the inner and outer experiences of our buildings. From designing spectacular shows for international music artists like U2, David Bowie and R.E.M, to now developing large-scale public art platforms in our cities. In this public speaker event, light artist Bruce Ramus will explore how we are in the beginnings of a major movement in urban design, reflected in the rise of ‘
media architecture’
. He will share how a deeper understanding of how we respond to light can enrich the future designs of our cities and share past lessons learned from the evolution of the art form. Bruce will discuss how a people-centred approach is what will allow future media architecture developments to become socially sustainable and will make our cities more livable.
Admission is Free.
