From the Neo-classical to the Mid-century modern, architectural styles have reflected the trends and values of their day, while also being influenced by the iconic designers and architects of the era. Don will explore a selection of styles found in Vancouver and share what influenced their creation and how best to identify them. In addition, participants will learn about the complexity and reality of identifying a 'style' and discuss whether these labels help or hinder design decisions.
This workshop earns 2 credits towards VHF’s Heritage Conservation Certificate.
