PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

President’s Message

Pierre E. Gallant MAIBC AAA MRAIC is the AIBC Council President

As architects, we’re used to solving problems. Problems – or rather, challenges – present opportunities to apply our skills, knowledge, creativity and artistry. Be it response to site, competing programs, divergent community interests, short timelines or unrealistic budgets, finding workable solutions is a big part of what we do.This past year, the usual business concerns reached new levels with the realization of a full-on global economic crisis. Architects were amongst the first to anticipate, and feel, the financial impact. Again, skill and creativity came into play as practitioners and firms were forced to find new ways of doing even more with less.

Even so, British Columbia architects continued to set new standards for design excellence, sustainability and innovation. This year’s collection of Annual AIBC Architectural Award recipients, highlighted on the pages that follow, is a case in point. More often than not, when times are tough, we do our best work.

It is unfortunate, then, that there persists a public perception of architects as a big ticket, free-spending lot. It’s an old, inaccurate label. And one we haven’t yet been able to shake. In truth, architects know and respect the value of a dollar more than most. Again, this year’s win-ning projects and practitioners serve to illustrate the point. From major restoration projects to simple-yet-overlooked options for repurposing building material, they demonstrate strongly how the architectural community leads the way in finding innovative and cost-effective design solutions.

Congratulations to the 2010 Annual AIBC Architectural Award recipients for their most deserved recognition. They represent us well in reinforcing a message of leadership, innovation and excellence, in addition to the knowledge that, in good times and bad, B.C. architects are full value for the money.

Merci et à bientôt.

Pierre E. Gallant MAIBC AAA MRAICAIBC Council President

2010 Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia Award in ArchitectureMedal RecipientAlhambra + Garage + Cordage + Grand + Terminus

ALHAMBRA + GARAGE + CORDAGE + GRAND + TERMINUS

Project Firm and Lead Design Architect: Acton Ostry Architects Inc.

They stand shoulder to shoulder like a family photo from long ago, five architectural siblings, unified in their place within a black-and-white world, and their shared promise for the future. Unfortunately, historic architecture, like old family photos, tends to fade with time.

It is inspirational, then, to know that this clus-ter of old Vancouver heritage has managed to bridge both time and space. Five adjacent sites, each revisioned and renewed incrementally to bring them into step with modern times while maintaining – and honouring – their original character.

It begins with the Alhambra Hotel, one of Vancovuer’s oldest intact structures dating back to 1886. The former hotel stands adjacent to the Garage, a 1930s attraction as one of the city’s first testaments to the automobile. It is adjoined by the 1911 Cordage Building,

Firm: Acton Ostry Architects Inc. Lead Design Architects: Mark Ostry MAIBC AAA FRAIC, Russell Acton MAIBC AAA FRAIC, and Alan Davies MAIBC

which in turn connects to the Grand Hotel, dating back to 1889 but having stood vacant and neglected for nearly four decades to the point of being beyond rescue. Also clinging to life was the original façade for the Terminus Hotel, gutted by fire in 2000.

From these five desperate remnants of Vancouver history arose a new vision. They would be brought back to life using a program of mixed use and a 100 per cent increase in density.

No small task, it would require the integration of six- and seven-storey residential buildings with two-story commercial space and existing three- and four-story frontages.

By maintaining the historic street fronts and irregular rooflines, the reclamation managed to protect the compositional character of the streetscape. New upper storeys were either set back to downplay their contemporary nature, or built directly upon the street front but with concrete and masonry in keeping with the original character. The commercial components were largely oriented to historic Blood Alley, in keeping with other efforts to revitalize previously-abandoned public space.

Behind the restored heritage street fronts exists an impressive mix of multifunctional com-mercial space and contemporary residential

“This integrates history, design elements … context, site, and program. What impressed me is how all these elements are integrated while keeping the character of the existing area.”– juror comment

“There’s a balancing of what we celebrate. It expresses to the public some of the ranges and scopes of architecture …This is what architecture is about for me in the general principle.”–juror comment

dwellings. The interior design features a variety of unique dwellings with central cir-culation. A rooftop terrace provides common space along with a familiar view of the North Shore mountains and Burrard Inlet as well as Vancouver’s evolving waterfront and revital-ized historic district.

A nod to modern standards of sustainability comes in the form of water and energy systems, green roofs, and the significant use of salvaged building material from the original sites.

It all serves to bring new life to an old neighbourhood. It also sets new standards for historical preservation and repurposing. Like a family photo, Alhambra + Garage + Cordage + Grand + Terminus speaks to not only where we came from, but where we are going.

With the July 2003 announcement that Vancouver would host the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, visions of how the city would be transformed were already starting to take shape. Much attention was focused on the potential of South East False Creek, one Vancouver’s few remaining undeveloped pieces of prime real estate, and future home for the athlete’s village.The area, largely a disparate collection of retail outlets, heavy industry and run-down warehouses, was about to undergo a remark-able transformation.

For one, the need for a showcase mixed-use residential community was identified as a priority – it would serve as short-term athletes’ accommodation during the games and provide much-needed residential property thereafter. Typically, not a lot of thought was given at that time to the new infrastructure required to pull it all off.

Thankfully, there were some who recog-nized the enormous potential for both good architecture and infrastructure – and the fact that the two are not mutually exclusive.

Tucked under the southern tip of the Cambie Street Bridge, the False Creek Energy Centre is one of the most dramatic examples of this area’s transformation. Co-designed by Walter Francl Architecture Inc. and Pechet and Robb art and architecture ltd., the facility serves a simple yet essential purpose: meeting the heating needs of the surrounding, newly-built community.

The centre actually encompasses two facilities: a sewage pump station for the greater neigh-bourhood, and a sewage heat recovery and distribution system.

Aesthetically speaking, this is not your parent’s energy centre. To humanize its utilitarian function, the centre’s stainless steel emissions stacks double as public art in the shape of a human hand – a deliberate symbol of person-to-person energy transfer. The LED “finger-nails” transform from cool blue to red hot to indicate the amount of heat currently being generated.

Aside from its sleek, state-of-the-art look, it responds remarkably to a site that is truly challenging. Two-thirds of the facility is actually underground, optimiz-ing functionality with minimal impact on a growing residential

neighbourhood. It also boasts generous adjacent public space – a gateway to future park development - and pedestrian routes that crisscross the site.

Other design features include:

• The use of robust architectural materials utilized for their industrial aesthetic, texture, scale and contextual appropriateness;

• Roof and soffit design that echoes the iconic bridge overhead;

• Extensive glazing and view portals that allow passers-by to glimpse the technology within; and

“I love the re-use of space under the bridge, where traditionally the space can’t be used. We always think of our cities as magically functioning in terms of all the utilities… things are exposed here so we can see and appreciate them.”

–juror comment

• A high level of sustainability-focused design that played a major role in the community’s recent LEED®- ND Platinum distinction.

The end result is a building literally ordered around the major pieces of equipment within. The fenestration rhythm of the east face of the building is centered on each of the boilers, revealing the activities within and allowing for future replace-ment. The incline of the roof is driven by the slope requirements of the stacks as they rise through the building to the east. Bringing both energy and vitality to Vancouver’s newest community, the False Creek Energy Centre is a powerful example of architectural innovation and sustainable design.

The structure that currently stands at 135 Keefer Street has come a long way. The original building, snuggly situated within a 25-foot lot, was designed by Sharp and Thompson Architects for the Vancouver Gas Company back in 1910. Since then, the structure, like its surround-ing Chinatown neighbourhood, has been subjected to many changes and challenges. What was once a landmark building eventually became no more than a four-storey aban-doned warehouse. A likely fate of demolition and replacement loomed.

Fortunately, the building’s cultural richness and historical significance were not lost on a select few who rallied for its restoration.

In order to make the revitalization dream come true, two key elements were required. The first, naturally, was funding. Luckily, this project benefited from the now-defunct Heritage Building Rehabilitation Program, a funding mechanism that supported heritage retention through both property tax relief and density bonuses.

The second necessary ingredient was finding a design team up for the challenge. Enter Project Lead Design Architect Chris Woodford MAIBC, LEED® AP of Gair Williamson Architect Inc. Woodford saw its potential, and brought the required sensitivity and expertise to the table.

Woodford and his team were asked to solve an adaptive reuse puzzle that would create a 21st Century space that still responded to adjacent cultural sites such as the Sun Yat Sen Gardens and the Chinese War Memorial. He

was also tasked with balancing the sometimes-conflicting objectives of the developer and the community, maintaining a level of flexibility in terms of how the building might be used, and, as always, reconciling architectural and economical considerations.

The reconstruction project program included the insertion of three full-floor suites within the existing shell; an additional residential story; a roof deck complete with pool and hot tub; outdoor kitchen facilities and loggia; and a ground floor restaurant. Its contemporary West Coast design aesthetic adds clean lines, high ceilings, indoor / outdoor spaces, lush planted greenery, and an abundance of natural light.

Today, 135 Keefer Street stands in welcome contrast to the bustling city life around it, a symbol of both a rich past and a promising future. It offers tangible proof that revitaliza-tion can be well worth the effort.

“There’s a very limited amount of space because it’s very narrow... it has a European scale in that sense. It’s amazing what they have been able to do with it. It’s a historical building but also modern in the integration of elements. This shows what can be done as an alternative to knocking down buildings.”– juror comment

“Clever and provocative... the lack of detail is compelling. The blending of old and new is very nice.”– juror comment

“It’s an intelligent re-use of space. It’s unassuming and really engaging.”– juror comment

Any west coast island property is, by definition, a unique slice of the world. Located on the southern edge of Saturna Island, this 2500 sq ft private residence is indeed something special.

“The simplicity and detailing are gorgeous.”– juror comment

Standing on the edge of a grassy clearing overlooking Haro Strait, the house looks like it was meant to be, responding appropriately to the delicate nature of the rugged rural locale. The gently sloping terrain is accentuated by the use of terraced levels that flow back into the landscape.

The building itself is designed to differenti-ate, in subtle ways, distinct zones for public,

private and service use. An open living/din-ing/kitchen space complements the feel of its natural surroundings.

Grass, rock, Garry Oak. Forest and meadow. A seemingly endless expanse of ocean. Perched on a crest like an observant eagle, this thought-ful abode manages to pay tribute to its unique natural surroundings, and in doing so encom-passes the distinctly West Coast experience.

Introspection. Quietude. Mourning. Words that typically convey the complex, contemplative atmosphere of a burial site. Less typical are words like celebration, sustainability and innovation. At Vancouver’s Mountain View Cemetery, the unexpected has become reality with the recent completion of a new project by local firm Birmingham & Wood Architects and Planners.

Built at a cost of $12 million, the compre-hensive project encompasses a new customer service centre, celebration hall and operations yard. It features a unique interplay between the built and natural landscapes within a contemporary, secular yet sacred environment.

Throughout, Lead Design Architect Sandra Moore MAIBC MRAIC LEED® gives special attention to detail, including:

• Extensive glazing and window openings in three directions;

• Subtle ambient lighting;

• An abundance of natural air circulation; and

• Carefully planned courtyards, garden areas, and green space.

One of the most noticeable elements is a naturally-reflective outdoor water feature, an elegant addition that adds to the serene atmosphere that was intended.

Principles of sustainable design can be found throughout the facility, including the extensive usage of elemental, locally-sourced materials. Vertical grain Douglas fir provides a warmth

and richness to wall paneling, benches and cabinets. Reinforced, cast-in-place concrete with form ties offers tectonic expression. The use of andesite cladding quarried at the northern tip of Vancouver Island delivers regional flavour.

The site’s centerpiece is a celebration hall with expansive ceilings, star-like variable-height drop lights, and floor-to-ceiling windows. The hall serves dual functions: much-needed space for the cemetery, and an atypical venue made available to local cultural groups.

From ethereal touches to sweeping gestures, Mountain View Cemetery stands as a singular testament to the power of architecture in transforming lives and spaces.

“This has complex relationships with the scale and spaces. It’s intriguing.”– juror comment

“There’s a special reserve of space but it is complex because of the forms. There’s something respectful there, of humanity”– juror comment

The West Vancouver Community Centre represents a fresh new approach to community facility design. Building upon West Coast Modernism, it brings a contemporary yet familiar feel to a public place in need of connectedness and revitalization. A significant part of the design challenge involved creating cohesion for an existing civic centre site that was home to a disconnected network of buildings. In addition, the site itself presented significant constraints. Even so, the

design team was able to execute a site-specific response that called for a series of dynamic, interconnected, active spaces.

The finished project features a three-story circulation spine that acts as a primary artery, linking gymnasiums, fitness rooms and wellness clinics. Colourful upper-level bridges, functionally meant to facilitate back-and-forth movement, also lend themselves to social interaction and personal reflection. An oper-able skylight reinforces the emphasis on natural light and fresh air.

A prominent central atrium serves as a gateway and natural gathering place while also con-

necting the facility’s community and aquatic centres. A distinctive passageway between buildings maintains the natural feel while addressing existing issues of traffic flow.

Central to it all is the new wellness centre, a unique collection of spaces to support art, dance, music, sport, education, childcare and other forms of social interaction. It also houses six different organizations, adding synergy to their public service mandates.

The revitalization project also entailed renova-tions and additions to the existing aquatic centre, seniors centre and ice rink.

Over all, the architecture is bold and energized, with an abundance of natural light, fresh air, colour and flow – all very much in keeping with the inherent message of healthy living. It brings unity and vitality what had been disjointed public outdoor space. LEED® Gold certification is anticipated.

With its campus-style approach, the new West Vancouver Community Centre embodies a message of active lifestyles – a social hub that is destined to become the revitalized heart of the community.

“It brings life and invites you to want to be in the space. It really honours community.”–juror comment

“There’s exuberance here. The transparency of the building works.”– juror comment

Xthum (pronounced “sthum”) is a word from the Hul’qumi’hum people of the West Coast that means “basket and drum”. It is also an apt title for a project that provides a tangible bridge between traditional and modern times, representing an assembly of people and ideas against the backbeat of a modern post-secondary institution.

It began with a group representing Kwantlen Polytechnique University and the First Nations of Kwantlen, Semiahmoo, Tsawwassen and Katzie who conceptualized a multipurpose space within an existing classroom building on the university’s campus. It was to be a place for gathering, celebrating, feasting, storytelling, counseling, studying and relaxing.

The desired program seemed too big for the 25’ x 30’ space available, a conventional class-room box within a concrete masonry building. As a solution, the design team situated flexible zones around a fixed central kitchen and fireplace.

What gives it life is the way the various zones are defined by wall-scapes and ceiling elements that conceal the original design while building on native tradition.

Using a digitally-driven “building without drawings approach”, the designers worked with the project’s woodwork contractor on a series of prototypes that eventually evolved into the basket-like weave that defines the space. This entailed that the structures be fabricated, assembled offsite, disassembled, and brought into place – an innovative, economical but challeng-ing process.

Once in place, the space was instantly trans-formed. The upward reach of the intercon-nected fabric brings presence to the confined

space, not to mention a waterfall of light to the lower reaches.

The new multipurpose facility connects with the nomadic nature of today’s student, facilitating a wired environment for those who study at all hours and eat when the opportunity calls. To do so, the designers relied upon a contemporary construction and fabrication methodology that pays tribute to ancient methods.

“I like it because it abstracts what a space could be. It brings a whole new meaning to the use of use. There is an organic quality and a translucency that is quite attractive. The story attached to this one gives it much more depth.”– juror comment

It also represents a dialogue between First Nations culture and contemporary architec-ture, one that explores modern society with multimedia and digital design. The basket and drum, designs that span centuries, provide new inspiration for modern times.

Literally speaking, this project is one for the books.Lynn Steven Boutique is a small women’s fashion business amongst others in a heritage neighbourhood of Vancouver. It has brick walls and a mosaic floor that still boasts the name of the Bodega Hotel of which it was once part.

While the ground-level space had already made the transition from a live/work studio to street retail, the business was still faced with the task of creating a name for itself within an increasingly competitive local fashion market. Plus, it needed to do so with a budget that could only be described as extremely modest.

In keeping with its sustainable sensitivities, the design team from mcfarlane | green | biggar first thought to make use of salvaged build-ing material whose potential may have been overlooked. Inspiration came in the form of pocket novels.

The key element is a cylindrical wall towards the rear of the store that would serve to con-tain a washroom and change room. Standing 12 feet high, the paperback fortification was created using approximately 6,000 discarded spy and romance novels, diligently compiled through effective use of Craig’s List. The self-supporting cylinder is designed with pages facing out, spines inward. The books were stacked like bricks, then screwed together. The

result: a neutral paper palatte on the outside, a colourful montage within.

While the lower potion of the cylinder is lined with steel to bring privacy to the change room and washroom, the upper reaches have deliberated voids that reveal hidden lanterns. The element also serves as a light fixture, giving the space a unique literary glow in the evening hours.

Simple, creative and economical. It is a design solution that builds the corporate brand while playing off of the boutique’s library stamp motif. For this distinctly novel approach to elevating the end user experience, it has been chosen for a special jury award.

“A nice sense of humour. It’s masterful in its use of materials. It’s actually a modest intervention on an architectural level.”– juror comment

The Rennie Art Gallery and Offices in Vancouver’s Chinatown is a substantial rehabilitation project involving the historic Wing Sang Building located at 51-69 East Pender Street. The revisioning of the space combines a fresh take on both the original six-storey laneway brick building and its adjacent three-storey street-front brick structure, dating back to the late 1880s.

With this ambitious project, the design team was charged with marrying two distinct programs: a private, contemporary art gallery; and a bustling real estate marketing office.

Aesthetically speaking, this entailed integrating a modern sensibility within the framework of a historic site and culturally rich neighbourhood. To achieve this delicate balance, the design team went for restraint and simplicity, creating a gallery space that allows the art within to shine in its own right while complementing the buildings’ original character and charm.

Much of the six-storey building on the northern portion of the site was retained.

The existing exterior was reinforced with a monolithic, concrete interior shell. Inside, an exposed original brick wall juxtaposes with the smooth, white walls of the adjacent gallery. Forty-foot ceilings and high windows contribute to the light, airy atmosphere of the main gallery.

The office areas in the south building offer their own charm. As a nod to the building’s legacy as home to Vancouver’s first Chinese school, the school room was kept intact and re-purposed as a meeting room.

The entire project is punctuated by select design elements. For one, the central stair

leading from the front entrance to the main gallery halls one floor above is a signature piece constructed of glass, concrete and steel - artwork in its own right .

Another distinctive feature is the roof-top deck. A neon installation by artist Martin Creed broadcasts its positive Marley-induced mantra to the world: “Everything is Going to be Alright”.

The Rennie Art Gallery and Offices project balances substantial conservation and restoration with selective new construction and demoli-tion. In bestowing this award, the awards jury recognizes a raising of the bar – a new standard in adaptive re-use.

Located in Kamloops, British Columbia, the Thompson Rivers University has the look and feel of many modern post-secondary institutions. The same could be said for the university’s Students’ Union Building – functional, but not dynamic. It was decided that a fresh face on the student space would bring new energy to the campus.Lead Design Architect Ray Wolfe MAIBC was given the task of transforming a subdued Students’ Union Building (originally completed in 2002) into a vibrant new space. His goal: to attract students with a tree house-like setting that would offer unlimited use possibilities for groups large and small.

In order to accomplish this, Wolfe employed three basic design principles: insertion, rotation and lifting. Within a framework of expansively high ceilings, the resulting design offers new gathering spaces that are literally tucked over, under, and beside each other.

Carefully-chosen materials complement the picture; extensive glazing provides a wealth of natural light that adds to the warm, natural feel created through prominent use of wood slats. Different room types offer varying degrees of privacy, acoustic separation and control. A colour-coded room-naming system brings a dash of whimsy.

The project came in under budget while still supporting the university’s sustainability efforts. Among its “green” features:

“I was intrigued by the modesty of the program and the authority by which it was executed. This is delightful.”– juror comment

“You wouldn’t necessarily associate this with a student building at all. There’s a lot of thrift and economy here.”– juror comment

• Building systems commissioning minimal energy performance;

• Storage and collection of recyclable materials; and

• Adherence to environmental tobacco standards.

Completed in August 2009, the facility has already taken on the character that was envisioned. It delivers the much-needed collaboration and relaxation spaces that were previously lacking on campus. It boasts a bright, cozy and comfortable environment that is home to a wide range of campus activities - a space that students can truly call their own. For truly elevating the end user experience, it was deemed worthy of a special jury award.

2010 AIBC ANNUAL CONFERENCE KEYNOTE

The Buzz about Busby: One Architect’s Take on Social Responsibility and the Challenges of Modern Architecture

For many, sustainability, environmentalism and “going green” are but 21st Century buzz words. They’re viewed as a passing fancy, a contrived nod to a cultural trend or an opportunistic approach to marketing – a simple choice that doesn’t necessarily reflect genuine commitment.For Peter Busby MAIBC C.M. FRAIC, sustainability isn’t a choice; it’s a responsibility.

His name has become synonymous with sus-tainable design. Even so, he’s but one of many within British Columbia’s design community that have responded to the green challenge in big ways, earning growing global recognition as a result. It’s a movement that deeply inspires Busby, the noted Vancouver architect and keynote presenter at this year’s AIBC Annual Conference.

His firm, Busby Perkins+Will, routinely serves up award-winning testaments to green design. With a Vancouver office housing more than 80 personnel, the firm employs 1,600 staff spread across 23 offices worldwide and proudly claims the largest portfolio of built green projects in Canada while demonstrating a clear commitment to research, education, public policy and guidelines related to sustainability.

While he’s garnered a steady stream of personal accolades, Busby has no interest in hogging the spotlight. For him it’s actually a relief to know that others share his passion for sustainable design and social responsibility.

In keeping with the conference theme, Community Building: The Social Impact of Architecture, Busby’s presentation called atten-tion to the growing number of B.C. architects and firms currently engaged in innovative sustainable design. His address shed light on

Architect Peter Busby MAIBC FRAIC at his Vancouver office.

several projects – both large and small – chang-ing the face of architecture around the world.

Through Busby’s lens, one quickly sees that good architecture can be created on any site, and with any budget, when the well-being of mankind helps form the foundation. To hear him tell it, society has come a long way from the “six-inch architecture” of his youth, where fancy structural wrappings garnered accolades despite what lay within.

The AIBC invited Busby to share some per-sonal thoughts about his profession, our shared environment, the road toward sustainability, and his dreams for the future.

AIBC: You graduated from The University of British Columbia’s architecture program in 1977. Were sustainability and social consciousness part of the curriculum?

PB: Not really, with a single important exception. At that time, all that mattered was what a building looked like. The structure’s lighting or functionality didn’t count. That posi-tion didn’t sit comfortably with me. For that very reason, I had difficulty

getting my graduating thesis passed. My project consisted of a Vancouver urban renewal plan. It was gritty and introduced ideas like urban farming. I could have failed, but luckily, certain notable mentors, like the late Abraham Rogatnick, stepped up to the plate and defended my work. Then, of course, there’s Dr. Ray Cole B.Sc. Ph.D Hon.AIBC. He filled us all with great new ideas and a different vision of the future. He remains the most important mentor for me, a lifelong friend and collaborator. He has profoundly influenced a generation of architects, contributing in no small way to the fact that Canada’s sustainable design movement was founded in Vancouver.

AIBC: How would you describe today’s sustainability movement?

PB: First, I’d like to place sustainability as only one element within a whole series of an architect’s responsibilities. Other considerations include healthy buildings, mixed income buildings, buildings that make great places to live

and work – all of which are para-mount.

AIBC: Clearly, the 2010 AIBC conference theme, Community Building: The Social Impact of Architecture, resonates with your work and your practice. Can you elaborate?

PB: I believe that building communities is both an obligation and a require-ment of the architectural profession. Architects are fundamentally different than other artists. In architecture, your canvas is the communities you’re working with. What you do today will be standing for 100 years, and people are affected on a daily level with what you do. Doing a good job and making beautiful work is an imperative.

AIBC: How is that philosophy localized? Are B.C.’s environmental opportunities unique?

PB: Yes. B.C. is special. People live here, I think, because they like the environment. They want fresh air, sea, and mountains, and they’re prepared to give up money and big jobs. As such, B.C. has a catchment of people who really care about the environ-ment. It’s no surprise, then, that our province is the greenest in Canada. We have progressive legislation, and all levels of government share a set of environmentally-minded values.

AIBC: How does that compare to what’s happen-ing overseas?

PB: To give but one example, I can point to a current project with which my firm is involved. We’re working with Disney to help create a theme park in Shanghai. Shanghai is a polluted environment and Disney doesn’t want its new park to contribute to the problem. As such, our design will see garbage used to create heating rather than waste. We’re also designing wastewater and ecological systems for the project. In fact, a third of the actual park attractions themselves will be dedicated to climate change exhibits and the like. In the end, the park will provide new opportunities for learning and dialogue on a large scale.

AIBC: Does it ever feel as if you’re swimming against the stream?

PB: It definitely did feel that way earlier in my career. Developers can be very conservative; they’re handling millions

of dollars, so new ideas or innovative approaches don’t necessarily appeal. But something shifted within the past five to eight years, signaling a large-scale swinging of the perceptual pendulum. It started when universi-ties began embracing sustainability. Governments then began offering in-centives for sustainable design. Today, the value of healthy societies and environments is widely recognized. As a result, my firm’s brand is stronger and our clients now self-select. It’s a relief in that I don’t have to convince anybody anymore.

AIBC: What are your hopes for the future genera-tion of architects?

PB: My perspective is coloured by the young people with whom I work. The environmental commitment is already there. Notwithstanding that, I believe the values of young architects are impacted by the fact that they grew up in a damaged environment. They want all of us to do better, and they think that the previous generation got it wrong. In that way, the situation that we face today is similar to the 1960s ... the difference being that today’s youth don’t want to act out the movement in the same way. They’re taking a qui-eter strategy. What I find particularly

encouraging is that young people – architects included – are more plugged into each other than ever before. They’re willing to expose themselves, whether through Facebook or other media. It’s a real ”we” generation.

AIBC: Any last thoughts you’d like to share?

PB: It’s my sincere hope that recognition and appreciation will be bestowed upon those architects inspired to create a better world. The reality is that many of today’s most mindful practitioners chose paths based on factors other than the bottom line. Take those involved in designing social housing; they’ve made conscious choices, ones that deserve the limelight at least as much as glossy luxury projects do. As for myself, I can honestly say that the architectural path has been tough. There were many years where I struggled financially while building my practice. In the end, though, the work that I and my peers accomplish gives me great hope. It’s a joy to do the right thing and to be recognized as such.
