Remarks on location: 

4 different sites: Beatty & Robson, Burrard & Dunsmuir, Burrard & Georgia, Burrard & Smithe (all 4 projects are flush with sidewalk, near the curb and incorporate an underground heating plant's ventilation shafts)

Description: 
Four round glass and steel covers are inset into the sidewalk over the ventilation shafts of an underground heating system. They are lit from underneath at night and steam may be seen to escape around them. The words "collected/dispersed" and one other site-specific word is etched into the glass at each site. The words refer to the systems of exchange in the underground heating plant as well as the communities of exchange within the city itself.
