The leading lines just vanishing into infinity
There is something about the Vancouver Convention Centre that always inspires me and makes me pause to mesmerise this beautiful architecture marvel.
Every beam in this ceiling runs the same direction, straight out toward the harbour.
The ceiling is Douglas-fir glulam beams, hung about a so perfectly apart, hiding everything mechanical above them so all you read is the grain and the gaps.
This is Vancouver Convention Centre West, designed by LMN Architects (LMN Architects ) with DA Architects + Planners (DA Architects + Planners) and MCM Architects (MCM Partnership ), opened in 2009.
