Inside the Mind Behind the Buildings of Architect Kees Prins
Prins has built many beautiful things: The Enjoy Centre in St. Albert, The Oasis Centre, The Northern Jubilee Auditorium Canopy, the Lit Wine Bar on 104 street, Padmanadi’s restaurant, and the University of Alberta B.A.R.D.'s library near 50th street and the Sherwood Park Freeway (which was where Ikea first set up shop in Edmonton).
Impressively, he even redesigned the cardboard box.
The Light Side of Darkness
“…assaulted by pandemonium crashing in foreign sounds. Your heart jumps at the ruckus the bombs make, screaming through the air and exploding with declarative death wishes that bleed terror into the oxygen. The awful noise is no further than a four-block radius away from you.”
Discovering the Far, Far North
The film does not really have a beginning or an ending in its perpetual rotation, but what would be typically considered the alpha point is the moment a bright light appears projected on the wall with the accompaniment of a submarine-like sound throbbing at an increasingly fevered tempo. Oscillating between darkness peppered with pictures of celestial luminance and a beacon beaming a bright artificial glow creates a feeling of being thrust into outer space.
