"Mix and Match Your Own Vancouver Special" (2010) hand-made pop-up book by Priscilla Yu

"Mix and Match Your Own Vancouver Special" is a hand-made pop-up book project designed, illustrated, and constructed by Priscilla Yu who grew up in the suburbs of Greater Vancouver's Burnaby district. The book showcases Vancouver's most loathed boxy homes, characterized by its seeming love of stucco, Italian imported wooden front doors, and cookie-cutter design. Rethinking and embracing it's aesthetic, in a whimsical and fun way, the seven-paged book is an interactive experience, where the viewer can play builder in selecting a series of "tops" and "bottoms" to create their very own Vancouver Special homes.
