Back in March, me and my lovely friend Krystle participated in a workshop at the Museum of Vancouver to create interactive public space using modular blocks. We worked with scale models to test out potential structures but a couple weeks ago the full-size version took over the 700 block of Granville St. This urban design experiment that the MOV is calling ‘Upcylced Urbanism’ is a collaboration with Masonville Plastics who provided the styrofoam material for the project as a means to bring attention to it’s recyclability and versatility. Here are some shots of the weekend’s events:
