Gregory Geipel: Still Vancouver
Still Vancouver captures the quiet resilience of a city that refuses to disappear in an increasingly planned cityscape.
As the face of Vancouver evolves, few structures have managed to withstand the change. The ones that do occupy a unique presence in the public subconscious: they are mainstays of the Vancouver experience, yet at the same time taken for granted—forgotten in their quiet, unassuming resilience. Still Vancouver captures the seemingly relentless inertia of a structural past that has remained timeless and refuses to be forgotten. Yet, as these buildings seem to defy the gravitational pull of modernity, one can’t help but wonder, for how long?
