  • The Paradox of Public Discourse: Designing Vancouver Library Square
    Linda Lewin Graif The Paradox of Public Discourse: Designing Vancouver Library Square rchitecture is a discipline that operates in a complex public A arena. While architecture may be defined as the art and sci­ ence of conceptualizing the built environment, the journey from the drawing board to the constructed artifact is a perilous one. The architect's initial concept, itself subject to constraints of many kinds, must be negotiated with clients, engineers, contractors, financial partners, special interest groups, and the general pub­ lic. Architecture, particularly public architecture, is inherently non-hermetic and, as such, is open to challenge and debate. Of all Moshe Safdie' s Can a dian "Libraries have always projects, Vancouver represented the cultural Library Sguare pro­ heritage of a society. duced one of the most As such, they must exhau,stive and com­ transcend the commercial preh ensive discu s­ architecture of our time." sions about the role of Moshe Safdie architecture in public 'life.
