Site | Light | Cadence | Space: Arthur Erickson Revisited
The West Coast Modern League is thrilled to be a partner in this year’s West Coast Modern Week festival. On July 10th, join the West Coast Modern League with the West Vancouver Art Museum at The Polygon Gallery, with the support of euoi studio | architecture + design, as we celebrate the centenary and the built legacy of Arthur Erickson through the lens of local designers who have revisited the famed architect’s work. Through active renewal and preservation, this group has helped to shepherd these iconic structures forward, working to safeguard their physical longevity and continued inspiration for future generations. They will share these projects with us.
