Vancouver is home to some of the most innovative urban design and architecture, not only in Canada but around the world.
In recognition of the visionary thinking Vancouver is home to, the City has introduced The Urban Design Awards – a biennial celebration of the best in urban design excellence.
This year’s inaugural winners competed in nine different categories with the victors being selected by architectural experts Peter Wreglesworth, David Dove, Greg Bellerby and Joseph Fry.
Each project faced challenges in their development, from noise pollution due to nearby off-ramps to maintaining sustainable construction, but they all managed to not only overcome those difficulties, but to also create some of the most eye-catching and avant-garde architecture Vancouver has to offer.
