The Museum of Vancouver opened its doors to the Polish-Canadian Architectural Exhibition, an event celebrating the enduring contributions of Polish-Canadian architects to the architectural landscape of Canada and beyond. This exhibition brought together professionals, enthusiasts, and visionaries to honor the artistry, innovation, and heritage that have shaped the built environment over decades. This year’s exhibition paid a special tribute to Mr. Bogusław (Bogue) Babicki, commemorating the 100th anniversary of his birth.
Greg Borowski, one of our Principals, helped play a role in organizing this inspiring event. Greg worked alongside a talented team of colleagues to bring this exhibition to life, showcasing a rich tapestry of work that bridges tradition and modernity.
We extend our congratulations to all involved in the success of this event and invite you to join us in acknowledging the contributions of Polish-Canadian architects.

We would like to welcome a student from Dalhousie University, Pelin! Since it is her first time being on the Westcoast, we asked what her thoughts are of Vancouver architecture, maybe a little bit of the lifestyle, too! Let us know if you had similar thoughts of the Westcoast if you're from different city! ;)
"I've notice that biophilic architecture is everywhere around here, as well as lots of green roofs and facades. I've also been amazed at how the west coast modern architecture fits well with the natural surroundings. I'm slowly becoming an Arthur Erickson fan as well! On a different note, the sushi is soo much better here! The trees are taller and the weather is warmer (than the Eastcoast at this time of year!), but the cars seem to zoom by without stopping for pedestrians!"

Other sustainable features include the high albedo color for the metal roof, large shading overhangs, an exterior finish material that is long lasting and requires no maintenance (composite wood-like product), high clerestory windows to maximize daylight use, extensive use of exposed glulam wood for structural support, maintaining the entire Gary Oak meadow at the front of the school (made possible by pursuing the expansion program rather than rebuilding), permeable paver products, a sensitive approach to maintaining Tree-Canopy coverage by replanting only where necessary.
