During the course of Exhibition Design, the class collaborated with Cadillac Fairview Corporation, the owner of Pacific Centre Mall located in the downtown core, to create an installation to be displayed in April 2012. The
objective of the installation was to generate footsteps within the mall, up the sales of retail stores while including the new campaign of Pacific Centre “I Am Downtown” concept. There were requirements listed out for the teams to fulfill
while developing the concepts such as the location of the installation, sizing restriction, stainability requirements, all while representing both Pacific Centre and Cadillac Fairview through a fashion forward point of view.
The White Elephant

description
This is an installation proposal for Pacific Centre in Vancouver, BC. The concept is based on an English idiom, “Elephant in the room" which is an expression referring to an awkward social situation or taboo subject that is common knowledge but nobody wants to discuss or engage with.
The application for this project has been successful and will go ahead in May 2011. In the beginning, a white crate will be installed to create curiosity and anticipation. The exhibit consists of an abstracted elephant sculpture which plays back previously recorded "Elephant in the room" stories generated by an online community.

Recently Haig Armen’s design firm, LiFT studios was hired by the Vancouver Aquarium to design and develop a touchscreen exhibit to accompany the Beluga Whale tank. The goal of the kiosk was to encourage children to explore the sounds that Belugas create and compare them with possibly disturbing sounds in their environment as well as familiar sounds. The kiosk has been receiving positive responses by thousands of aquarium visitors and lift will continue to work with the Vancouver Aquarium.
