a main reason why it was built so quickly was because most of the buildings were Design build.
Things were being ordered, constructed while the building was being designed and change. The conceptual designs were already in place but the way to actually build it was being figured out while it was being built.
And architect's weren't usually as picky, they agreed with whatever was the cheapest and fastest route.
and no u can not walk a long the seawall unfortunately. Probably after the olympics. They want the athlete's to be kept in seclusion and focused during the 2 weeks or whatever.

Speaking of the village - can you still walk down the path that runs between the Village and False Creek? I just noticed that much of the False Creek and downtown areas had been barricaded off. I was going to walk by and take some pics because some friends who were interested in coming up during the Olympics wanted to see how things were shaping up here..
