About the event

Join us this fall for the first installment the new Architecture & the City series with guest speaker Donald Luxton. Guided by the series’ theme, Tall Vancouver Buildings, this talk will focus on two projects in particular - Beach Towers by CBK Van Norman, and the Electra by Thompson Berwick Pratt.

The series is part of a larger micro-exhibition project set to launch in Early 2022. This exhibit will showcase the immediate past, present, and future of the residential tall building in Vancouver. Featuring the tall building as a vehicle for providing the city’s unique urbanity, with discussions of how this building typology might provide a way out of our affordable housing crisis, with presentations by some of the leading architects and planners who have helped to shape Vancouver’s skyline.

This Architecture and the City Series event is a partnership between The Royal Architectural Institute of Canada - BC and the Museum of Vancouver.
