David Warrick Encapsulating History The Vancouver Art Gallery serves as an arts center, historical landmark, and hub for the city of Vancouver. The proposed design will preserve, integrate, and showcase the existing neoclassical building. An addition will double the existing square footage, improve accessibility, increase circulation, and introduce new programs to the site. Through the implementation of transparency on the ground plane and a centralized atrium, the proposed design will complement the heritage building. The existing north facade will be encapsulated within the large semi-public atrium, inherently expanding the public realm and use of the site.
