It was another wonderful week of events at the 4th annual West Coast Modern Week, organized by the @westvancouverartmuseum, celebrating the design movement that has defined modernism on Canada’s west coast for the better part of a century. The League was thrilled to again be a partner in this year’s celebrations, presenting JOHN PATKAU: MATERIAL OPERATIONS to a full house at the @polygongallery.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in this collective celebration and to @westvancouverartmuseum for their incredible efforts.

855/899 Homer is located at the corner of the Yale

855/899 Homer is located at the corner of the Yaletown and Library District neighbourhoods of downtown Vancouver. Completed in 1992, the building comprises a five storey podium of offices, health club, retail, and dining at the base of a 20 storey residential tower. The complex spans the length of a city block, with the tower sited at mid-block and the commercial podium wrapping around it to the west side. On the east side, the podium opens up to a public plaza, where the tower meets the ground, providing a mediated entrance for its residents that is softened from the bustling street.

This is what’s left of the Plaza of Nations and

This is what’s left of the Plaza of Nations and BC Pavilion (Vancouver’s modern interpretation of the Crystal Palace). Originally constructed for Expo ‘86, for decades it was a part of the city’s fabric of cultural venues, large in scale and uniquely positioned on the waterfront. Had it been more valued and maintained as a public asset, just think of the continued role it could play for our cultural infrastructure. Think of the festival city of Montreal. The BC Pavilion is still standing at a time when we desperately need more public spaces to collectively celebrate. Just imagine the possibilities.

Canada House was originally purposed as the home o

Canada House was originally purposed as the home of Team Canada during the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games. Designed by Nick Milkovich with Arthur Erickson, the low-lying towers prominently feature on the coastal shoreline as a pair of duelling fish scaled forms set against the rippling foregrounded waters of False Creek. The complex is composed of two buildings flanking the east and west edges of a sunny, central courtyard. The fish scale silhouette is generated by the gentle rotation of each floor upon one another in conjunction with glass and stainless-steel cladding. Since 2010, the complex has served as a residential building.

The Berkeley Tower is recognized as one of the fir

The Berkeley Tower is recognized as one of the first post-war residential towers to be built in the beach community of Vancouver's west end. Designed by Warnett Kennedy, the design took on a simple slab form, rotated 45 degrees to the street to allow ocean views for each of its residents, punctuated by large corner windows and an exterior painted in green and yellow.

Now known as Muro, the building recently underwent extensive renovations and upgrades, designed by @officemb. Elevating its place as a landmark in the city, the exterior now features a painted mural on all four sides of the tower by renowned Canadian artist @douglascoupland. Utilizing a pattern of colours and geometries synonymous with his work, the murals help to demarcate Muro as an anchor point that aptly represents the bustling neighbourhood and the threshold where the city meets the sea.
