  • Arthur Erickson's Concrete Trevor Boddy
    I first heard Arthur Erickson speak of the importance of The Constructed Landscape: concrete to his designs in the late 1970s. As the student charged with organizing lectures at my architecture school in Arthur Erickson’s Concrete Calgary, a first talk there by Canada’s most prominent modern architect was my top priority. I called his office, but Erickson’s personal secretary informed me he no longer gave lectures to universities, only to “bankers and chambers of commerce.” I persisted, and arranged to have the Vancouver- based designer speak to a luncheon gathering of downtown businessmen. One of Erickson’s phrases in his talk that day cycled around my student brain long after he got on the airplane back to Vancouver, and the Calgary businessmen got back to pumping oil. While I did not recognize it as being so at the time, he voiced a widely-quoted shibboleth as an aside: “Concrete is the marble of the 20th century.” The use of concrete Trevor Boddy validated through comparison with a now-expensive traditional material? The reference seemed archaic to me, in part because my architectural history studies had just taught me that the ancient shores of the Mediterranean were the last home to marble used as both structure and finish for public buildings. Or was Erickson inferring something more complex with this, as in late Roman and post-Renaissance uses of marble—a veneer finish, while bricks or cheaper stones did the structural work behind, a composite in the same way steel reinforcing rods make large span and thin shell concrete structures possible? Arthur Erickson’s concrete buildings demonstrate both of these tendencies—an extension of building logic of the material itself, and a classicizing sensibility, especially in their spatial logic and recurring use of the trabeated frame.

Scholar`s Choice: Cornelia Hahn Oberlander-From Exegesis to Green Roof by Nina Antonetti Assistant Professor, Landscape Studies, Smith College 2009 Canadian Center for Architecture Collection Support Grant Recipient, December 2009 March 2011 What do a biblical garden and a green roof have in common? The beginning of an answer is scrawled across the back of five bank deposit slips in the archives of Cornelia Hahn Oberlander at the CCA. These modest slips of paper, which contain intriguing exegesis and landscape iconography, are the raw material for a nineteen-page document Oberlander faxed to her collaborator Moshe Safdie when answering the broad programming requirements of Library Square, the Vancouver Public Library and its landscape. For the commercial space of the library, Oberlander considered the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the hanging gardens at Isola Bella, Lago Maggiore; for the plaza, the civic spaces of ancient Egypt and Greece; and for the roof, the walled, geometric gardens of the Middle Ages and Early Renaissance. Linking book to landscape, she illustrated the discovery of the tree of myrrh during the expedition of Hatshepsut, referenced the role of plants in Genesis and Shakespeare, and quoted a poem by environmental orator Chief Seattle.

  • A Walk Through Robson Square
    A WALK THROUGH ROBSON SQUARE As the plans and the overview demonstrate, Robson Square contains three inter-related structures: the Vancouver Art Gallery, the Provincial Government Office Block and the Law Courts. These are integral to a multi-level plaza and garden through which two thoroughfares pass. Indeed, the Office Block is designed in such a way that it is itself a terraced open park. It is adjacent to or actually contains many of the facilities that are essential to Robson Square's overall function as a civic centre. All the roofs of the office block have been landscaped, and most areas within it are accessible to the public, either above or below the level of the streets that transect the square. The public focus of this building-cum-plaza is the area surrounding Robson Street between Hornby and Howe, the area nearest the V AG. Close to the free public skating rink that is positioned under the two plexiglass domes situated below Robson Street is an international food mart that opens onto a plaza. Immediately adjacent to it within the portion of the office block that is constructed beneath Robson Street is a media centre that is equipped with a theatre, conference areas and exhibition spaces. The government office block portion of the complex is set back 150 feet from Robson Street and gradually steps up to a maximum of three storeys at the Smithe Street end of the complex. There is a maximum of three storeys below street level, including service spaces. Within the structure there are open-plan offices accessed by street-like corridors.

  • Sediment Impact to GVW Kalamalka Lake Intake Study, 2018
    Sediment Impact to GVW Kalamalka Lake Intake Study, 2018 Prepared for Regional District of North Okanagan Kal Lake 2018 Sediment Study Executive Summary Executive Summary This study was designed to answer questions involving the sediment accumulation rate, sediment contaminants and their sources in the North Arm of Kalamalka Lake, and to identify the risk posed by these materials to drinking water quality at the RDNO intake. Sediments act as a reservoir for contaminants and can return them to the water column during turbulent re-suspension. Coarse sediment accumulated near the mouth of Coldstream Creek, while silts deposited farther along the plume path, and clays were transported throughout the North Arm. Sediments near the creek contained less marl than the very fine marl-based lake sediments that dominate elsewhere in the Arm. Despite high E. coli counts in Coldstream Creek flows, this study found low sediment E. coli concentrations at sites within its plume path. The highest sediment E. coli counts occurred at sites adjacent to stormwater outfalls and at deep sampling sites. Fecal bacteria contamination of sediment from traps deployed near the intake location is concerning. Seagulls congregating near the intake buoy (deep sites) as well as turbulent transfer of contaminated sediments from shallows near stormwater outfalls to the intake area are the likely causes. Sediment traps deployed from spring through fall 2018 collected recently deposited or disturbed sediments. This sediment demonstrated a pattern of higher heavy metal concentrations along the Coldstream Creek plume path than at other North Arm sites. Like most lakes within urban watersheds, sites with sediment metal exceedances were also affected by stormwater or a marina.

  • Reconciling the Universal and the Particular: Arthur Erickson in the 1940S and 1950S
    Reconciling the Universal and the Particular: Arthur Erickson in the 1940s and 1950s When Arthur Erickson is mentioned, his large public projects usually come to mind, especially Simon Fraser University (1963-65), the Museum of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia (1971-76), Robson Square and the Law Courts in Vancouver (1973-79), Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto (1976-82), and the Canadian Chancery in Washington, D.C. (1982-89). These have re­ ceived the lion's share of attention in print, including his own. It is easy to forget that before working on any of them, even the relatively early Simon Fraser, he had built a small but distinguished practice as a house designer in coastal British Columbia.1 Even before that, in the late 1940s and early 1950s, he had undertaken extended training and travel. This formative period, before Erickson became an architectural superstar, deserves attention because it holds clues to the interests and points of view he would later bring to his more prominent work. by Christopher Thomas 36 SSAC BULLETIN SEAC 21 :2 n the spring of 1953 Erickson returned to his native Vancouver from his architectural l studies and travels to begin practice. His decision to return home, while under­ standable, merits attention, for it was crucial to the path his career took. Though now Canada's third-largest city, Vancouver at the time was "a sleepy, provincial, rather estern Ho stuffy city" of just over half a million2-hardly, it would seem, a promising place for an ambitious and worldly young architect to launch a career.
