The mace is crowned by a silver stag’s head, derived from the coat-of-arms of Lord Lovat, head of the Clan Fraser. The Fraser tradition was to fasten sprigs of yew in their bonnets before entering battle, and the mace was carved from two hundred-year-old yew, gathered on Burnaby Mountain by a resident in the 1940s.

For approximately thirty years this was a centre of modernist design, and produced many of the greateSt contemporary Canadian houses. This was fe rtile ground fo r experimentation in the International and West Coast Styles, and the District's domestic architecture was recognized fo r its innovation, the use of natural materials, and sensitive integration with spectacular sites. These structures, many ofwhich have now been acclaimed as masterpieces of design, have become an integral part of the.image ofWest Vancouver. This current study builds upon the initial identification of93 significant contemporary buildings in the 1988 'West Vancouver Heritage Inventory'. This provided a recognition of the importance of these buildings, but did not provide detailed research or documentation fo r those buildings built after194 5. In 1993-1994 this survey ofthe District's modern buildings was undertaken, using the same evaluation criteria and categories as the previous Inventory. Those buildings from the thirty year time frame fo llowing the end of the Second World War were more fullyexamined, including a windshield survey of the entire District, and research of journals, award winning buildings, and architect's lists.

Comparative analysis of specific architectural commis­ sions supposedly representative of each phenomenon but within single typologies and locations remains to be attempted, espe­ cially in the Canadian context. This paper will compare the two central public libraries built in post-war Vancouver, each of which has been held to represent, or embody, the respective con­ ditions of Modernism and Postmodernism. Modernism and Postmodernism are here defined, respectively, as a universaliz­ ing anti-historicist design process centred on the technical so­ lution of functional need and concerned with social improve­ Fig . 1.

The comparison indicates that the relation­ ship between Modernism and Postmodernism is less discon­ tinuous than reflexive and revisionist in nature, and that neither has been as homogeneous as presumed. The current dependence upon either a visual or a sociological reading underplays the impact of what might be called the internal discourse of archi­ tecture, including the conditions of practice. Such readings also oversimplify the discussion

    Geoffrey Massey Dies at Age 96

    Geoffrey Massey dies at age 96 The son of actor Raymond Massey was partners with Arthur Erickson in the 1960s. VANCOUVER SUN John Mackie Dec 02, 2020 Vancouver architects Arthur Erickson, left, and Geoffrey Massey, here on July, 31, 1963, had their design chosen for the new Simon Fraser University of Burnaby Mountain. Erickson is the University of B.C. associate professor of architecture. Massey is the son of actor Raymond Massey. Photo by Deni Eagland /PNG Geoffrey Massey’s legacy can be seen all over Vancouver. As Arthur Erickson’s architectural partner in the 1960s and early ’70s, he helped design local icons like Simon Fraser University and the MacMillan Bloedel Building. As a Vancouver city councillor with Art Phillips and TEAM in 1972, he was part of a political movement that put a stop to freeways and redeveloped the south side of False Creek from industrial to residential. He was even one of the early owners, architects and developers at Whistler in the 1960s. Massey died Tuesday morning from pneumonia in a hospice near Lion’s Gate Hospital in North Vancouver. He was 96. His life story could have been scripted by Hollywood. In fact, his father, Raymond Massey, was a movie star, his uncle Vincent was Canada’s governor-general from 1952-59, and his family founded the farm-equipment giant Massey-Harris, which became Massey-Ferguson. Geoffrey Massey was born on Oct. 29, 1924, in London, England, where his dad had a long and successful career in live theatre. His mother, Peggy Fremantle, also came from a prominent family — her father was British Admiral Sydney Fremantle.

She has been serving as the Chief Executive Officer of the Metro Vancouver YWCA, a position she has held since 2003. She follows Judith Guichon into Government House to take on what has been, until last year, a largely ceremonial five-year appointment. Guichon made headlines last June when she asked the NDP’s John Horgan to form government after no single party had won a majority. The announcement by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau came March 20 as Governor General Julie Payette paid her first official visit to British Columbia. She was welcomed to Government House by Guichon. It would be Her Honour’s final bow. Incoming Lieutenant Governor Janet Austin Payette signed the guest book at Government House, leaving a sticker of her new coat of arms, which features a white wing to symbolize exploration, liberty and safety. Payette, a former astronaut, was the second Canadian woman to go into space and the first Canadian on board the International Space Station. The Prime Minister and Premier John Horgan thanked the outgoing Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon for her numerous contributions and her work to engage communities, non-profit organizations, and businesses across the province since taking office in 2012.

    12/30/2020 Remembering West Coast architecture legend Geoffrey Massey - North Shore News The late Geoff Massey: a cultural icon at home on the North Shore Dec 19, 2020 8:30 AM By: Adele Weder 1 / 3 The Killam-Massey Residence at 7290 Arbutus Place, built in 1955, with Bowen Island in the background. | courtesy of the Massey family The long life and epic career of Geoff Massey would need a 10-volume book or a Netflix series to unpack. He helped create many buildings and communities in Vancouver, Burnaby, Whistler, and Hernando Island. But most remarkable is what Geoff and his colleagues have done for the North Shore: after making homes for themselves and others here, they helped ferment a contemporary culture for the wider society around them. I first met Geoff 15 years ago, while working on a monograph of West Vancouver artist Bertram Charles Binning—one of many mid-century artists that Geoff had befriended and supported. By then, Geoff was already an octogenarian–a North Shore elder with tales to tell, and I had no idea yet how many. Beginning with this book project, and over the ensuing years, I learned just how influential and engaged he has been with the history of this place. https://www.nsnews.com/in-the-community/the-late-geoff-massey-a-cultural-icon-at-home-on-the-north-shore-3198124 1/3 12/30/2020 Remembering West Coast architecture legend Geoffrey Massey - North Shore News Geoff moved to the Lower Mainland in 1953. His timing was propitious: the North Shore was transitioning into an unofficial epicentre of cultural fermentation.

    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.

    Agencies and Organizations

    Made In B.C. – Volume VI A History of Postsecondary Education in British Columbia Agencies and Organizations Bob Cowin Douglas College September 2012 Preface Is it really very important to understand how our postsecondary system acquired its current characteristics in order to foster consensus about the best way to move forward? I’m inclined to think it is, but not everyone agrees. In any event, we seem to be busier doing things in postsecondary education than in looking for patterns across those activities or in reflecting as a system on the long-term implications. A symptom of our malaise is the triumph of the public relations agenda. The documents I consult in preparing these historical reports used to be forthright in describing the organizations and, to varying extents, willing to describe some problems and challenges. Not so much anymore. Especially not for documents that are posted on the web for a year or two and then replaced by others with no apparent archiving that the public can access. There are, of course, numerous exceptions, but it seems to be increasingly difficult to find material that is “off message.” The irony is that in a period when accountability, transparency and open government have become buzzwords, I sometimes find it harder to track down recent information than for the bad old days before the information explosion. My tale, though, is not all sorrow and woe. I continue to be amazed at the power of the Internet to bring information to the corner of my desk in suburbia, and at the unexpected little gems that individuals have posted on the web.
