Pop Rocks
As a Materials Partner, Canada Place is happy to see our sail fabric play a key role in this innovative and sustainable project. It is great for a part of Canada Place, like its former home, to continue to serve as a meeting place for Vancouverites as well as international and Canadian visitors.
Pop Rocks is an equal collaboration between
AFJD Studio (Amber Frid-Jimenez & Joe Dahmen) and
Matthew Soules Architecture.

More Sail Fabric in Action!
Big Dreams School
Canada Place sail fabric has been re-used to positive effect is the Big Dream School in Tanzania, Africa. The material was used to create a protective awning to shield people from the elements as they gather to learn, perform and celebrate their culture. Learn more about the Big Dream School Project. Long a natural meeting place, Canada Place is honored to be a part of this central element at the school.
