2012 Architectural Awards Spotlight a Select Few
Samuel Brighouse Elementary SchoolFirm: Busby Perkins+Will Architects (now Perkins+Will Canada Architects Co.)
Located in Richmond, this innovative K-7 school offers a fl exible 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 sustainabil-ity to the forefront, with such features as natural ventilation, daylight harvesting, and green roofs.
VanDusen Botanical Garden Visitor CentreFirm: 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 fl oating above the building’s curving rammed-earth and concrete walls. In keeping with the fi rm’s commitment to sustainability, the facility is also designed to collect and treat wa-ter, harvest sunlight, and store energy. It is the fi rst building in Canada to register for the rigorous Living Building Challenge.
AIBC Special Jury Award – a discretionary honour for outstanding achievement.Winnipeg Skating SheltersFirm: Patkau Architects Inc.
A series of temporary structures grouped as a village, the Winnipeg Skating Shelters are a cel-ebration of winter. Through elegant and intimate design, the creative team produced simple-yet-stylish 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 FSC-certifi ed and pine-beetle-killed wood.
The AIBC is a self-governing body dedicated to excellence in architecture for the benefi t of the public, the profession and the environment. For more information about the AIBC, please visit www.aibc.ca.

Linear HouseFirm: Patkau Architects Inc.
Situated on a 16-acre farm on Salt Spring Island, Linear House embodies the inspired meet-ing of old and new, man-made and nature-grown. A row of windswept Douglas Firs provides un-usual defi nition 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 connec-tion between the built and natural environments.
Oppenheimer Park Activity CentreFirm: mcfarlane green biggar architecture + design (now offi ce 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 re-vitalize 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.
