Design Work Life: Cataloging Inspiration Daily

After check­ing out the Ferry Building we stum­bled upon this really amaz­ing pub­lic art­work at the Embarcadero Center. After doing a lit­tle bit of research I found out that the foun­tain was cre­ated by Canadian sculp­tor, Armand Vaillancourt, in 1971. Known locally as the Vaillancourt Fountain, “Quebec Libre!” appar­ently caused quite a bit of con­tro­versy at the time. See this TIME arti­cle that dis­cusses the circumstances.
