To enliven the streetscape of the Davie Street project, Westbank and Crombie REIT have commissioned Vancouver artist Neil Campbell to create a lighting installation for the building’s Davie Street facade. The installation entitled, 'Zephyr', will animate screens of state-of-the-art LEDs that have been designed to highlight the three-storey podium. Inspired by the beautiful natural environment and the colours and light of the West End, Campbell’s piece will act as a living canvas generating a colourful and rhythmic work with the aim of celebrating the neighbourhood’s vibrant and enduring character.
