Coquitlam Spirit Square by PFS STUDIO

Coquitlam 接受了Spirit Square公司在其快速发展的市中心新建的公共广场的资助。该空间完成和振兴已经在Coquitlam Spirit市政厅街道和南面实施的公共空间。 PFS工作室设计的一个关键组成部分是灵活的开放区域，可随时适应演出和特殊活动，为临时安装提供永久支持和服务。

The City of Coquitlam received Spirit Square funding for a new public plaza in the heart of their rapidly developing City Centre. The site completes and revitalizes the public space already implemented across the street and south of Coquitlam City Hall. A key component of the PFS Studio design was a flexible open area that is readily adapted to performances and special events with permanent supports and services for temporary installations.

鲑鱼或“红色鱼”（象名Kwikwetlem的意思）的象征意义激发了广场上的细节和公共艺术。这一设计的组成部分对于认识到Kwikwetlem原住民在百年以来首次重新引入本地产卵鲑鱼到Coquitlam Spirit河中取得的巨大成功至关重要，因此象征着这个原住民社区的文化和精神复兴。

The symbolism of the salmon or ‘Red Fish’ (the meaning of the name Kwikwetlem) inspired the detailing and public art on the Plaza. This component of the design was critical in recognizing the remarkable success of the Kwikwetlem First Nations in reintroducing native spawning salmon to the Coquitlam River for the first time in a century, and as such is symbolic of the cultural and spiritual revival of this First Nations community.
