Through its summer walking tour program, the AIBC offers stunning architectural perspectives of six Vancouver neighbourhoods. For locals and tourists alike, these fun tours are a unique and engaging way to learn more about the history of Vancouver. Book your tour at aibc.ca/tours.
This famous warehouse district in Vancouver was created in response to the rapid growth and expansion away from Gastown at the turn of the century. Learn how the City of Vancouver transformed this heavy industrial area from a contaminated wasteland into one of the trendiest and most vibrant neighbourhoods in Canada. We show you some of the city’s most iconic buildings as well as major renovation projects and community planning marvels. Public projects including the city’s stadiums, theatres and seawall expansions are discussed as well as how the city densifies while maintaining and protecting its historic buildings.
Meet your guide: inside the lobby of The Architecture Centre, 440 Cambie Street.
