nice little tale for a quiet tea party... Vancouver, BC
Love SpacingToronto’s Before/After photo series. (I had a similar idea involving vintage postcards of various cities…but when you snooze, you lose.) Reminds me of other delightful old/new transitioning-spaces projects, like the charming Dear Photograph website, or Stewart Brand’s still-relevant book (and subsequent 6-part BBC television series!! Who knew?), How Buildings Learn: What Happens After They’re Built. (dear photograph) (infographic inspired by How Buildings Learn) Less urban-y, but also cool: Irina Werning’s Back to the Future Project (but I’ve already told you about this one) Young me/Now me

Stories of Old Vancouver Neighbourhoods

Amazing interactive website about a diverse little local neighbourhood. Click on a building pictured on the beautifully-designed site, and you’ll get poignant (really!) audio stories and documentary-style photos about its inhabitants.

It feels like a sort of a super-modern, and more human-centred, take on Stan Douglas’ Every Building on 100 West Hastings Street.

Okay, Internet, I stand corrected — a brief Google search tells me that this website by David Look is the super-modern take on the Stan Douglas piece: it’s called “Every Building on 100 block of West Hastings Street (in Google StreetView): after Stan Douglas”.
