Vancouver Art Gallery - design

Once completed, this new museum will double in its current size. The architect gives a nod to a once densely wooded part of the city by wood-clad construction of each different size, however, in contrast to the existing steel and concrete buildings in the area, this building will certainly stand out. The site sits on an important connection to the east and the west of the city and will play a vital role in providing cultural vibrancy as a thoroughfare and a connector.
