What Defines a Monument?

Stanley Park has witnessed community eviction, human-wildlife conflicts, and cultural assimilation, severing a social connection between humans and the local environment. I want to re-design a section in Stanley park that allows an area for shelter and rest, an area of landscape appreciation and education, and enhance an already existing area of cultural and historical reflection. Focusing on these 3 factors will allow visitors and locals to come together and help foster dialogue in reconciliation. To challenge existing monuments, I will create a living monument.
