City Conversations: City of Glass Forever?

When: June 7, 2012
Time: 12:30-1:30 pm
Location: SFU Vancouver, Harbour Centre, Room 1600

Vancouver’s picture-postcard look is of slender, glassy residential towers framed by water and mountains. Is that 25 year-old style now overdone? Does the city require different architectural types?

The mid-rise character of Olympic Village is a first response to those concerns. But what else should Vancouver’s new buildings look like, and where should they be built?

Share your ideas in a City Conversation about Vancouver’s next look and feel with architect-developer Michael Geller; Bruce Haden, a principal of the prominent firm DIALOG; and UBC professor Patrick Condon.
