Design: Unknown
Client: City of Vancouver
Date: 2010
In time for the 2010 Olympics and presumably for all the visitors from abroad, the city had these polite reminders to look in the direction of traffic to avoid walking into it unwittingly. More than two years later, this street paint has worn considerably, but is a reminder of our efforts to extend a warm and safe welcome to a mass of foreign travellers.

Design: UNKNOWN
Client: CBC Radio
Date: 1970′s
My friend was working at the CBC archives in Vancouver when she saw this posted to a board in one of the workrooms. Apparently it was used by the CBC in the 1970′s as a promo image! Kinda creepy.

Design: Niki Dun (with Transaid and Salima Garage and Welder’s Assoc.)
Manufacture: open source (Design for Development)
Date: 2003 – present
This simple transportation solution utilizes existing capacity to provide desperately needed ambulance services in sub-Saharan Africa. Designer Niki Dun developed the original Bicycle Ambulance as a graduation project at Vancouver’s Emily Carr Institute. Upon graduation she took the design to Africa where she worked with Transaid and the Salima Garage and Welder’s Association to test and refine the design. Schematics of this design are provided free of charge to communities who need them and in this way, the design continues to be customized and improved. Today the ambulances are used in villages all over the region.
