该项目是一种钢铁雕塑，由一种名叫柯尔顿的特殊钢材雕刻而成，主要的作用和目的就是充当堤坝，防止海岸地区被海水侵蚀破坏，起到保护海岸线的作用。项目地址位于加拿大温哥华的海岸地区。

当地有一种对海岸侵蚀破坏较严重的潮汐，被称为国王潮汐。该项目的设计和建设也由它而起。这种潮汐能够侵蚀海岸，对海岸造成严重破坏，使得海岸线腐蚀后退。普通的钢筋混凝土墙壁面对这样的潮汐根本就无法阻挡。也正是基于此，景观建筑师保罗僧伽及其所属公司才摒弃常规设计建设方案，设计建造出此独特的钢铁雕塑充当海岸堤坝，保护海滨及海岸线。

该项目的设计建造灵感来源于加拿大西部不列颠哥伦比亚省萨图纳岛的砂岩地层，设计建造完成后，该项工程不但起到了保护海岸线的作用，而且也成为了一件艺术品。这项海岸保护工程总跨度大约有200英尺，由西向东延伸。随着该项工程的完工及投入使用，已经吸引了大量的公众在该海滩上进行交流、晒日光浴、划皮艇等活动，参与者包括慕名而来的旅游者和当地的居民。

Landscape architect Paul Sangha has created METAMORPHOUS, a corten steel sculpture designed to provide a solution to foreshore erosion for a waterfront property in Vancouver, Canada.This project began with the King Tides, which struck the B.C. Coastline on December 2012. Paul Sangha Landscape Architecture was approached by a couple to provide a solution to their Vancouver property where the King Tides had carved out the entire bank, leaving the deck completely suspended. Previous foreshore experience had already proved that constructing oceanfront concrete walls resulted in foreshore erosion. Instead of opting for this common choice, Sangha and his firm took this as an opportunity to create something unique and unlike any other waterfront property in Vancouver.

The firm worked with oceanic engineers – Balance Environmental, to develop a solution that would not only enhance the foreshore but also deal with the retention of the bank. Using corten steel Sangha drew inspiration from the abstraction of sandstone formations seen on Saturna Island here in British Columbia. This also became the formwork on to which concrete was shotcrete, and as a result, the corten wall became an artwork that was at the same time functional. The abstracted shape of the corten, in conjunction with strategic boulder placement along the foreshore played an integral role in dissipating wave energy and ultimately, facilitating the deposition of sand to enhance foreshore and create habitat for flora and fauna. The corten wall initially began as a one hundred twenty foot intervention, but as Sangha was experiencing the same erosion issues with the neighboring clients, they also agreed to participate in the construction of the wall. As a result, the wall now spans two hundred feet, transforming from abstracted rock forms from the west to barnacle-inspired formations toward the east. Since its completion, the corten wall has fostered a huge amount of public engagement on the beach, attracting kayakers, sunbathers, beachcombers and local residents. Dune grasses are beginning to establish and sand is slowly depositing. The development and execution of the wall illustrates the first of such an endeavor along Vancouver’s waterfront. The wall shines as an example of both functional and accessible art that is helping sculpt an identity for Vancouver’s shorelines.
