Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden

Der Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden ist ein chinesischer Garten im Stadtteil Downtown der kanadischen Stadt Vancouver. Er befindet sich an der Carrall Street in der Chinatown von Vancouver und besteht aus einem frei zugänglichen Park sowie einem Garten, dessen Besuch kostenpflichtig ist. Es ist der einzige Landschaftsgarten im Stil der Ming-Dynastie (1368–1644) außerhalb Chinas. Für die Gestaltung des äußeren Parks waren die Architekten Joe Wai and Donald Vaughan zuständig, für den inneren Park der Landschaftsarchitekt Wang Zu-Xin und weitere Experten aus Suzhou. Die Finanzierung übernahmen die kanadische und die chinesische Regierung, die chinesische Gemeinschaft Vancouvers sowie weitere öffentliche und private Geldgeber. Die Eröffnung erfolgte am 24. April 1986, rechtzeitig zur Weltausstellung Expo 86. Er wurde nach chinesischen Baumethoden des 14. Jahrhunderts errichtet. Um den Park größer erscheinen zu lassen, wurden keine geraden Linien verwendet. Das Wasser, die Steine, die Pflanzen und die Architektur sind nach dem taoistischen Yin-und-Yang-Prinzip gestaltet. Der Garten ist nach dem chinesischen Revolutionsführer und Staatsmann Sun Yat-sen benannt, der mehrere Jahre in Vancouver im Exil lebte. Die Zielsetzung des Gartens findet sich in dessen Motto: „Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the places and moments that take our breath away“ (Das Leben wird nicht gemessen an der Zahl unserer Atemzüge, sondern an den Orten und Momenten, die uns den Atem rauben).

Jardin chinois classique Dr. Sun Yat-Sen

Le jardin classique chinois Dr. Sun Yat-Sen est un jardin chinois situé à Vancouver, en Colombie-Britannique, au Canada. Situé dans le quartier chinois de la ville, c'est le premier jardin chinois construit en dehors de l'Asie. Il est situé au 578, Carrall Street. Le mandat du jardin est de « maintenir et d'améliorer le pont de compréhension entre les cultures chinoise et occidentale, de promouvoir la culture chinoise en général et de faire partie intégrante de la communauté locale. » Histoire Le jardin est inauguré en 1986 dans le cadre de l'Expo 86. Il est constitué d'un parc extérieur conçu par les architectes Joe Wai et Donald Vaughan, et d'un jardin intérieur réalisé par Wang Zu-Xin en tant qu'architecte en chef, avec l'aide d'experts de la Landscape Architecture de Suzhou, en Chine. Comme le climat hivernal de Vancouver est semblable à celui de Suzhou, on retrouve dans le jardin de nombreuses variétés de plantes identiques à celles de Suzhou. Les plantes ont été choisies en fonction de leur calendrier de floraison afin de souligner les changements saisonniers. Elles sont également sélectionnées pour invoquer la signification symbolique, historique et littéraire de chaque plante et apportent de la couleur à toutes les saisons. Les jardins chinois classiques utilisent les principes philosophiques du Feng Shui et du Taoïsme, s'efforçant d'atteindre l'harmonie et l'équilibre des contraires. Des rochers escarpés sont juxtaposés à un feuillage délicat. L'eau est également un élément important du jardin. Le grand étang offre le calme, le son, un reflet du ciel et aide à unifier les autres éléments. Les poissons et les tortues vivent dans le jardin et ont également une fonction symbolique. Des chauves-souris, des dragons et des phénix sont représentés dans des objets répartis dans tout le jardin. De gros rochers sont placés stratégiquement et sont destinés à représenter des montagnes cachant et révélant des éléments du parc. Le jardin doit son nom à Sun Yat-Sen, un leader nationaliste considéré comme le « père de la Chine moderne ». Cette attribution n'est pas arbitraire, car elle souligne son lien avec Vancouver. Alors qu’il voyageait à travers le monde pour sensibiliser et financer le mouvement nationaliste chinois, Sun Yat-Sen a séjourné à Vancouver à trois reprises pour de longues périodes. À l’époque, il y avait une présence importante de nationalistes chinois en Colombie-Britannique. Ils ont contribué à financer la révolution Xinhai qui a renversé la dynastie Qing en 1911. Sun Yat Sen devient par la suite le premier président de la République de Chine. Le jardin chinois classique du Dr Sun Yat-Sen a été utilisé comme toile de fond pour de nombreux épisodes de la saison 4 de Falling Skies.

Sandy Island Marine Provincial Park

Sandy Island Marine Provincial Park, formerly Sandy Island Provincial Park and also known as Tree Island Park, is a 30 hectare provincial park in British Columbia, Canada, located off the north end of Denman Island, on the west side of the Strait of Georgia to the south of Comox. The park comprises Sandy Island (locally known as Tree Island) and the Seal Islets. It is accessible by boat and, at low tide, by foot across tidal flats from Longbeak Point on Denman Island. In 2012 the park's name was officially changed to Jáji7em and Kw'uhl Marine Park (a.k.a. Sandy Island Marine Park), reflecting the K'omoks names for the islands. Jáji7em ("having trees") refers to Sandy Island, while Kw'uhl (unknown meaning) refers to either the Seal Islets or just Seal Island (a.k.a. Shack Island), the largest of the islets.

Scotia Tower

Scotia Tower is a 35-storey office tower in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. built for the Bank of Nova Scotia. The project was announced in 1971, construction began in 1974, and the building opened officially on 8 June 1977. Architects for the project were Zebb Zerafa and Menkès of Toronto. The building was constructed concurrently with Scotia Centre in Calgary, and the designs of the two towers followed similar concepts. The Scotia Tower was a controversial building at the time of its construction, as the project involved the demolition of the historic Birks Building and Allen/Strand Theatre. History The 15th tallest building in the city, it stands at 138 m or 35 storeys tall and completed in 1977 and is a landmark skyscraper near the end of the central business district. The building houses Scotiabank operations for British Columbia and the underground Vancouver Centre, with its various shops and attendant street retail and theatres. The malls are linked to Pacific Centre and a SkyTrain subway station via subterranean passages beneath Georgia and Granville Streets. The Georgia and Granville corner of the site was the former location of the Birks Store in Vancouver, an ornate Edwardian edifice that was torn down in 1974 to make way for the construction of Scotia Tower and Vancouver Centre. Birks was the first tenant in the new corner-retail location after the centre's construction but has since moved to Granville and West Hastings; that location is now the main downtown store of London Drugs. The decision to demolish the Birks Building sparked outrage and protest when it was announced in 1971. New Democratic Party MLA Robert Arthur Williams started the Save Our Birks Building Committee and served as its chairman. Williams said, "it's not good enough to have Toronto or some eastern developer tell us what the heart of our city should be." The committee also included Dr Harold D. Kalman, a professor of art history at the University of British Columbia. The Georgia Street side of the Scotia Tower-Vancouver Centre was the location of the old Strand Theatre, the only one of Vancouver's Theatre Row not directly on Granville Street. That movie house was later replaced by the Vancouver Centre Cinemas (now closed) in 1977. See also List of tallest buildings in Vancouver References Emporis.com

Sea Island Connector

The Sea Island Connector, is a crossing over the middle arm of the Fraser River in Metro Vancouver. History Project Completed in August 2001, the concrete beams, atop the exposed steel piles driven into the river, support the concrete girders. This low-level three-lane bridge, parallel to the Moray Bridge, carries westbound traffic toward the Vancouver International Airport (YVR). The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure for BC owns and maintains the structure. However, the joint exercise was a partnership of the Vancouver International Airport Authority, the province, the federal government, and the City of Richmond. The $40 million project also comprised a vehicle overpass, interchanges on Sea Island to Grant McConachie Way and Russ Baker Way, and enhancements to Bridgeport Road and the Highway 99 interchange. The collaboration improved YVR access from Richmond and the highway, which includes the Oak Street Bridge. Roadways Formerly, Airport Rd. (north) leading to Grauer Rd., and Cessna Dr., branched at the foot of the Moray Bridge. Airport Rd. (north) became a cul-de-sac. Cessna Dr. access reconfigured to Russ Baker Way. The Moray Bridge had been a single lane each way, subject to congestion from vehicle accidents, swing span openings for boats, or rush hour. Although commercial vessels largely avoid the middle arm, it is popular with pleasure craft. Yacht masts can clear the new bridge when travelling to the marinas immediately downstream. During November and December 2019, the consecutive Russ Baker Way overpass experienced lane closures for concrete rehabilitation, better drainage, and bearing replacement.
