Canada’s west coast holds an inspired and enduri $Canada’s west coast holds an inspired and enduring legacy of exceptional modern architecture and design. What started as largely a domiciliary exploration has since proliferated across architectural typologies and design disciplines, the tenets of which continue to inform city building efforts to this day, and we are here for all of it! MODERN WEST COAST PLACES is the League’s ongoing effort to capture the modernist body of work across the south coast and into the interior regions of British Columbia, focused on architecture, landscape architecture, public spaces, and the allied arts. The League’s aim is to create a space to learn about the full breadth of works that have and continue to put our region on the global design map. Our inventory takes the mid-century period as its point of departure, a time when the west coast was fertile ground for experimentation and innovation in the pioneering design principles that would become West Coast Modernism. This expression of modernism, more appropriately responsive to the domestic lifestyles, culture, rugged natural terrain, resources, and rainforest climate, was first recognized in the 1941 B.C. Binning House and continues to play a prominent role in contemporary practice while adapting to modern lifestyles and the increasing pressures of development and climate change. Updated often, what is published on our website is but a fraction of our broader inventory. If you have any questions about the works published, would like to nominate a place for the catalogue, and/or have any information that you think would be of benefit, please get in touch.
