Part of the facade from the new Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel here in Vancouver. The hotel to be completed in time for Vancouver/Whistler Olympics is looking good with different facades attached around the building. Seen here are the dimensional letters spelling out a line from a poem that appears on the south and east sides of the hotel. It is an art installation by British artist Liam Gillick. The line is: "Lying on top of a building the clouds looked no nearer than when I was lying on the street." For all the font nerds out there the letters are stainless steel, 61 cm tall in helvetica bold.
