The two full weeks of winter games have officially come to a close. There were a lot of memorable moments, but I wanted to share one small favorite—the winners’ podium—designed by James Lee & Leo Obstbaum. The podium was constructed from donated wood and finished by new wood workers in the inner city of Vancouver. The design reflects the topography of Canada and the collective spirit of the games, as seen in the construction of multiple pieces coming together to create one form.
Another example of this community-focused participation was seen in the creation of the bouquets by Just Beginnings Flowers. The owner, June Strandberg, works with women in prison and those who are recovering from addiction or acts of violence. The flowers are also locally grown.
