| 释义 |
Vancouver's Laozi (also referred to "Lao Tzu" and "Lao Tsu", 老子) mural is located on the Western wall of the Lee's Association building, at the corner of Gore Avenue and Pender Street, on the boundary of Chinatown. The mural was unveiled on October 2, 2010, by the Mayor of the City of Vancouver, Gregor Robertson.[1] as part of the celebration of the 125 years of Vancouver's Chinatown.[2] The mural is featured in multiple lists of notable Vancouver murals.[3][4] It was designed by Kenson Seto and painted by Alex Li & Falk.[5] The mural is 223 square metres, and costed $18,000 [6] which was split between the City of Vancouver and Lee's Association of Vancouver. It was defaced multiple times by graffiti,[6] causing outrage in the community.[7] On April 5, 2016, the City of Vancouver rezoned the lot at 303 E Pender St/450 Gore Avenue,[8] allowing construction of a six story building [9] that hid the mural from sight.[2] The building, marketed as Brixton Flats [10] was designed by architect Gair Williamson and developed by GMC Projects Inc., whose website features an image of the Laozi mural [11] Vancouver City Council added a condition to the rezoning:"Design development to create a new mural to reflect the character and history of Chinatown; Note to Applicant: The intent is not to recreate the existing mural, but rather to seek a viable opportunity to create a new mural of a suitable size and location on the building, including possible location on the eastern side of the building."[12]The developer is studying the possibility of painting a smaller version of the original mural on the new building.[13] References1. ^{{Cite web|url=http://leesofcanada.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=89:mural-unveiling&catid=94&Itemid=194|title=Mural Unveiling - Lee's Benevolent Association Of Canada|last=Lee|first=Fred|website=leesofcanada.com|language=en-gb|access-date=2018-03-17}} {{coord |49.280539|N|123.096927|W|display=title}}2. ^1 {{Cite news|url=http://dailyhive.com/vancouver/city-green-lights-chinatown-development-blocking-iconic-mural/|title=City green lights Chinatown development blocking iconic mural {{!}} Daily Hive Vancouver|last=Staff|first=DH Vancouver|date=2015-03-04|work=Daily Hive|access-date=2018-03-17|language=en}} 3. ^{{Cite news|url=https://miss604.com/2015/01/5-iconic-vancouver-murals.html|title=5 Iconic Vancouver Murals|date=2015-01-26|work=Vancouver Blog Miss604|access-date=2018-03-17|language=en-US}} 4. ^{{Cite news|url=http://dailyhive.com/vancouver/best-murals-in-vancouver|title=7 best murals in Vancouver {{!}} Daily Hive Vancouver|last=Staff|first=DH Vancouver|date=2015-05-07|work=Daily Hive|access-date=2018-03-17|language=en}} 5. ^{{Cite web|url=http://vancouvermurals.ca/tour-b/311-pender/|title=18.
