This September, Vancouver turned out! In a celebration of the city’s architecture and design community, we spent 11 inspiring days visiting open studios and exhibitions, attending talks, tours, workshops, and parties, and taking in all the creativity that this city has to offer.

The League was a proud ambassador to the festival and thrilled to present West Coast Fresh Take with @daughters and @studioroslyn at @informinteriors.

Thanks to everyone who came out and to the team at @designvanfest for their tireless work and dedication to celebrating Vancouver’s super-charged creative talent!

SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!

Today marks 40 years since closing day of Vancouve

Today marks 40 years since closing day of Vancouver's Expo 86 World's Fair. Expo is a period in our history that catalyzed a flurry of new ideas and explorations that have had a profound impact on our city's growth, urban identity, cultural landscape, and international stature. 54 participating countries, hundreds of artists, performers, and corporations created a spectacle showcasing innovations in transportation and communications, and left lasting memories for the over 22 million people who visited over the 5-month duration.

Tonight, writer and curator Jordan Strom explores some of the incredible superdimensional art and architecture at Expo 86, through the lens of four projects: "The Spectral Image" by Michael Snow, "Highway 86" by SITE / James Wines, C.N. Pavilion by Peter Cardew, and Canada Pavilion's Great Hall.

Many of our cherished modernist architects were in

Many of our cherished modernist architects were involved in the conception and design of Expo 86. One such architect was Peter Cardew who took on the Canadian National (C.N.) Pavilion. In essence, Peter flipped the script on the idea of an internalized exhibition. Turned inside-out, the C.N. Pavilion invited passerby and visitors to see and to participate in the animation of the exhibits. To shelter festival-goers and the outdoor exhibits, a steel framework, evocative of 19th century railway terminals, was suspended from a gantry structure and supported by three foundation points.

Tomorrow, Jordan Strom explores the superdimensional art and architecture of Expo 86 through the lens of four projects including Peter Cardew's C.N. Pavilion.

Now known as Canada Place and Vancouver Convention

Now known as Canada Place and Vancouver Convention Centre East, when it opened in 1986 it served as the Canada Pavilion at Expo 86. Located on Burrard Inlet, the Canada Pavilion was outside the main Expo site on False Creek, but you could shuttle between them on the exciting and newly opened automated SkyTrain. Under its iconic sails, Canada Pavilion served as a comprehensive cultural festival complete with pop-up performances, theatres, showcases of Canadian artworks, inventions, technological discoveries, and proto-digital exhibits. High overhead in the Great Hall (pictured) hovered a flying saucer, a mysterious object and short-lived forestry aerospace vehicle.

This Tuesday, Jordan Strom explores the superdimensional art and architecture of Expo 86 through the lens of four projects including Canada Pavilion’s Great Hall. You’ll have to join us to hear more about the UFO.
