With its magnificent mountains and ocean setting, the small community of West Vancouver has been a favourite place for architects to both live and practice their trade for over half a century. During this time a unique and distinguished body of modernist houses, churches, and other community buildings has emerged and continues to evolve in the present day. This exhibition focuses on architecture as art, and how, as art, it responds to the natural characteristics of the stunning landscape of West Vancouver. In an examination of eighteen built projects, it becomes apparent how architect and client are engaged in a never-ending dialogue about art and construction, site and climate, nature and artefact, theory and history, spirituality and reason, and the transcendent and the pragmatic.
