The Melnikov House, designed by architect Konstant

The Melnikov House, designed by architect Konstantin Melnikov for himself and his family, is an icon of the Russian architectural avant-garde. The experimental cylindrical structure was built between 1927 and 1929 to test Melnikov’s concepts for mass-produced housing.⁠

It was one year ago today that we held our last in-person event and we can't wait to see your beautiful faces once again. On February 27, 2020, the League welcomed the @iconichouses North American Lecture Tour featuring Moscow's Melnikov House. Pavel Kuznetsov, Director of the Konstantin and Viktor Melnikov State Museum and Deputy Director of the Schusev State Museum of Architecture in Moscow, spoke about the history of Melnikov House, a fascinating icon of 20th century Russian architecture, and the tragic life of its architect Konstantin Melnikov in a collectivist society.

MISSED THE TALK OR WANT TO WATCH IT AGAIN? The lecture is now available online to watch anytime. Link in bio or head to westcoastmodern.org/events.

Special thanks again to our hosts @informinteriors and to @dialogdesign and @audainartmuseum for their generous support.

Intended to provide shelter from the rain and to i

Intended to provide shelter from the rain and to illuminate the dark shadow of a neighbouring tower, the bus shelter frames one edge of Vancouver's most prominent public plaza. Set along the ceremonial Georgia Street, and anchored to the Vancouver Art Gallery (by Sir Francis Mawson Rattenbury) and Robson Square (by Arthur Erickson and Cornelia Hahn Oberlander), this public square carries a long history of public celebration, ceremony, and protest. ⁠
⁠
Formerly known as the Vancouver Art Gallery North Plaza, the public space was renamed to šxʷƛ̓ənəq Xwtl’e7énḵ Square, following its rehabilitation, in cooperation with the Coast Salish peoples – xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and sə̓lílwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) – on whose traditional, ancestral, unceded territories the plaza resides.⁠

🚨ALERT: The most recognizable feature of the We

🚨ALERT: The most recognizable feature of the Weyerhaeuser campus is the low-slung office building, lovingly referred to as a “groundscraper” or skyscraper tilted on its side. You’ll notice a similarity in concept to that explored by Arthur Erickson and Cornelia Hahn Oberlander for the Provincial Law Courts in Downtown Vancouver. Spanning between two gentle slopes, the offices consist of a series of terraced concrete slabs, lushly planted with ivy and separated by full-height expanses of glazing. The building is flanked by a small lake to the north, and an idyllic meadow of colourful wildflowers and native grasses to the south, a favourite of nature photographers and the general public in the early spring.

Lend your support for the preservation of Weyerhaeuser International Headquarters by joining in signing the petition and/or writing a letter. Link in bio for more information.
