Great news! As a former Vancouverite, I love wooden buildings.

I just hope they don't over-emphasize the wood, like Vancouver's new art gallery -- it just won't fit in.

Doubt there is the budget like the new VAG - cite the source please.

Forget the UBC project - the Prince George UNBC Wood Innovation and Design Centre is probably a more appropriate comparator.

Oops. wrong prince.

Not sure if the next GBC Waterfront Building (The Arbour) should have its own thread but maybe not ..... yet. Here is presentation to WT DRP

I'm filming The Arbour design competition announcements at the GBC Waterfront Campus on Mar 27th 6:30 PM,. If any UTers are attending, it'd be good to meet up.

Sorry I can't make it myself! Anyone else interested in what's coming next for GBC down there should consider attending!

Are they announcing the winner or just presenting finalists?

What on god's green are TF and Shigeru Ban doing in the same competition? I imagine they'd be just AoR to Provencher Roy, but sweet heavens I hope they get nowhere near this.

 

[UrbanAffair]

I love Shigeru Ban, that would be my pick. Maybe we can start a vote on this thread as we did with the Etobicoke City Hall thread? Mods, any interest?

 

[interchange42]

We have a new front page story up here, and the database has more pics of all of the finalists for you to enjoy!

Upon first glance I think I actually like all four. Maybe least favourite being Moriyama and Teshima, but not by much.

 

[A Torontonian Now]

I really like all four.

In my fantasy world, Menkes would adopt and adapt one of the loosing bids for the innovation centre. These designs are truly innovative, not just using the term as marketing gobbledegook.

I thought the Provencher Roy proposal is the least coherent, but even then it is a huge improvement over WIC.
