2012 Architectural Awards Spotlight a Select Few
VanDusen Botanical Garden Visitor Centre
Linear House Firm: Patkau Architects Inc. Situated on a 16-acre farm on Salt Spring Island, Linear House embodies the inspired meeting of old and new, man-made and nature-grown. A row of windswept Douglas Firs provides unusual definition to the site, bisecting the surrounding farm grounds. Linear House sits discretely in a narrow space between the trees, allowing for stunning views throughout. The designers’ keen attention to detail is seen in such features as the continuous, covered walkway, and dozens of dramatic skylights. The resulting structure delights the senses while creating an organic connection between the built and natural environments. Oppenheimer Park Activity Centre Firm: mcfarlane green biggar architecture + design (now office of mcfarlane biggar architects + designers, and Michael Green Architecture Inc.) Located in Oppenheimer Park in the heart of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, this new activity space is part of a recently completed renovation project. The objective was not only to revitalize the park, but to also meet community’s needs through ready access to open green space. The project team used a highly-consultative public process involving the extraordinarily diverse neighbouring community. The result is an innovative round structure that attracts visitors and invites the community to rediscover this neighbourhood park.

Samuel Brighouse Elementary School Firm: Busby Perkins+Will Architects (now Perkins+Will Canada Architects Co.) Located in Richmond, this innovative K-7 school offers a flexible and adaptable learning environment for its 500+ students. It features open classrooms, administration space, dedicated community space, a library and gymnasium. The designers brought a commitment to sustainability to the forefront, with such features as natural ventilation, daylight harvesting, and green roofs. VanDusen Botanical Garden Visitor Centre Firm: Busby Perkins+Will Architects (now Perkins+Will Canada Architects Co.) The new visitor’s centre at Vancouver’s VanDusen Botanical Garden was designed to create a harmonious balance between architecture and landscape, from both a visual and ecological perspective. At the fore is a striking, stylish roof inspired by the organic forms of a native orchid, seemingly floating above the building’s curving rammed-earth and concrete walls. In keeping with the firm’s commitment to sustainability, the facility is also designed to collect and treat water, harvest sunlight, and store energy. It is the first building in Canada to register for the rigorous Living Building Challenge. AIBC Special Jury Award – a discretionary honour for outstanding achievement. Winnipeg Skating Shelters Firm: Patkau Architects Inc. A series of temporary structures grouped as a village, the Winnipeg Skating Shelters are a celebration of winter. Through elegant and intimate design, the creative team produced simple-yetstylish forms that provide shelter from elements for the users of Winnipeg’s extensive network of river skating trails. AIBC Innovation Award – for achievements in building design that are not strictly architectural but that have a direct bearing on the future of architecture. Centre for Interactive Research on Sustainability (CIRS) Firm: Busby Perkins+Will Architects (now Perkins+Will Canada Architects Co.) The University of British Columbia’s Centre for Interactive Research on Sustainability (CIRS) is designed to be the most sustainable building in North America. Developed over 12 years, it is a testament to a clear vision and an architect/client partnership that championed the project from concept to completion. Setting new standards for environmental sensitivity, the facility boasts natural daylight and ventilation; a living roof; and a wood structure constructed of FSCcertified and pine-beetle-killed wood. The AIBC is a self-governing body dedicated to excellence in architecture for the benefit of the public, the profession and the environment.
