A monumental feature.
Public Realm
The Barge is already a landmark - a place to meet & gather for locals and visitors alike. But it can mean much more.
As a remarkable living object, the Barge becomes the anchor for an entire cultural district.
What are the chances? The Barge landed right in the middle of a sculpture park. With four existing artworks of industrial steel plus a massive stone Inukshuk, the transformed Barge works as a perfect addition to the established material palette.
