Bordering the main entry stairway, and set against the backdrop of the Belkin Art Gallery and surrounding campus, Wood for the People is an installation made up of 214 pieces of cast concrete convincingly resembling a stacked pile of chopped firewood.

The Belkin Art Gallery is designed to collapse the boundaries, and cultivate a celebration of the functional dualities, between the public galleries and the supportive service spaces. It is at once a place of learning and of research.

A space that became one of the great cultural hubs

A space that became one of the great cultural hubs in the city, also gave us a glimpse into the intriguing possibilities inherent in the quickly disappearing remains of our industrial heritage. Now empty, the building will be demolished to make way for a new transportation hub, part of the Broadway SkyTrain extension.

525 was reclaimed out of the remnants of the shuttered 1964 Finning International paint and mechanical shop, part of an old, heavy-industrial manufacturing plant on the False Creek Flats. The structure’s transformation into contemporary art galleries sought to pay homage to its unique industrial heritage, leaving exposed the original masonry walls, steel and wood structure, and overhead cranes. Corrugated clerestory windows, original to the building, allowed natural light to continue to penetrate into the interior spaces and wash over these vestiges of the original building, laying bare the experiential significance of this relationship.
