Arthur Charles Erickson - Architect Of The Week May 2007 - 3rd Week

Global architect, Arthur Charles Erickson is a passionate advocate of cultural awareness, and a fervent explorer of human and natural environments.

He has brought to his work an understanding of the community of man that, when filtered through his insightful mind and fertile imagination, gives birth to a singular architecture that is in dialogue with the world. Erickson opened his practice in 1963 and is currently the principal of Arthur Erickson Architectural Corporation in Vancouver.
