EDITOR’S MESSAGE
When you arrive in a city that you have never visited before, what is the first thing you do? A friend of mine recently admitted that she is always curious about whether people ever purposely get lost in a city and why they might do that. Personally, when I arrive in a city I love to just wander around, get a little bit lost and investigate my surroundings—even in places where I have lived or visited before—because I love exploring and getting a feel for how people live in a particular place. The world’s built environments—the human-made space in which people live, work and recreate on a day-to-day basis—say a lot about the people who inhabit them; their history, their culture, their values and where they might be headed. It’s an expression of what people see as their place in the world and you can learn a lot from the architecture of a community and how people respond to it. There is so much to say about architecture that we couldn’t possibly fit it all into one magazine, but we wanted to introduce you to some amazing architects and take a look at how their work influences our daily lives and how the way we live impacts our built environment in turn.
8
So, just as we invite you to purposely get lost amidst the pages of H&L’s first Architecture issue, we remind you to explore, investigate and enjoy your surroundings—both new and familiar. You never know what you might discover. (It might even be Jann Arden.) Sincerely,
Michelle van der Merwe, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

KEEPING IT REAL
WORDS BY MICHELLE VAN DER MERWE PHOTOGRAPHS BY EMA PETER CREATIVE DIRECTION BY KARLA PECKETT
Canadian music icon Jann Arden is a gorgeous, smart, funny woman with a huge heart and immense talent. But she is not perfect and she’d be the first person to admit it. “I like people that, if you give them a little shake, little pieces break off of them—because they’re real,” says Arden. Betty Davis, Joan Crawford, Elizabeth Taylor—they are all broken in some way—but Arden loves strong women like them. “Adversity makes people really interesting. If you’re not failing you’re not living and that’s just the way I feel about it, although I don’t mean to sound dramatic.” A friend of Arden’s told her, “Jann, make sure that you’re living your eulogy and not your resume.” A sentiment that she has taken to heart and tries to live in everything she does. “I just love the way she put it,” says Arden of her friend’s advice. It means thinking about “all the things that make a life. You wouldn’t put that you love walking the dog on your resume.” But Arden does love walking her dog, Midi, who’s always right with her, watching her like a periscope. “I haven’t peed alone for five years,” Arden says. “She’ll find me wherever I am.” In order to really live your eulogy you sometimes have to push boundaries—something

that producer Bob Rock encouraged her to do on her new album—Everything Almost. “I think Bob was just having me walk a little farther out to the end of the plank. It wasn’t a fun record to make, I will say that.” Once the album was finished Arden realised she had been playing it safe. Rock pushed her to push herself beyond where she thought she could go. “I must have heard my name eight million times,” she says. “‘Jann, Jann, Jann—do you trust me?’ Not really.” Arden admits the process was a very humbling experience but the result is an album on which she “really sings.” When her record company remarked that they had never heard her sing like that before she told them “well, there’s a reason for that—I don’t.” Well, she may not have ever sung like this before but Arden has still earned 19 Top Ten singles and eight Juno awards over the years, along with many other accolades. But even with all her success she has remained close to her Alberta roots. “I just feel like I belong here. It’s what I know,” she says. “I travel all over the world and then I get back and its ‘oh, thank heavens.’” “Home is important. I know that some people struggle with what that means to them and I’m glad that I know that now.”

TUMBLED TEXTURES, CHROME, STEEL AND JUXTAPOSITION OF SHEEN FROM MATTE TO HIGH GLOSS DEFINE THE INTERIOR SPACES OF CLARITY.
Located along the river’s edge on Sifton Boulevard, Clarity holds broad appeal. “At the end of the day, when you are building a spec home you are building for an imaginary client,” shares Kevin Mullen, president of Empire Custom Homes and its sister company, Empire Kitchen & Bath, of his latest show home. “This home is designed for life’s many stages and offers a backdrop for growth as the needs of a family grow over time.” Clarity’s genesis and inspiration evolved from the riverside lot on which it sits. Mullen says that the primary design goal was to take advantage of the location by capturing as much light as possible and creating vignettes that expose the stunning river views. To assist with the project—creating three separate contemporary homes, each with a different personality—Mullen brought on designer Marvin DeJong of DeJong Design Associates to create the layout and exterior home design. “When you have a blank sheet of paper, you can do anything,” says DeJong of the expansive design parameters of the project—including a large corner parcel of land in the inner-city at the confluence of Sifton Boulevard and 9th Avenue SW. “The project is really about showcasing what we can do with contemporary design,” says Mullen, who adds that while Empire Custom Homes has excelled at creating traditional designs, the timing was perfect for adding a new look to their repertoire.

FAR OUT HOMES
ASPIRATIONAL GLOBAL DWELLINGS
Viewed from the ocean side, the Montecito Residence appears stark yet ethereal—all steel beams and glass. On closer inspection it might be mistaken for something industrial; even the front door boasts a locking mechanism that you’d more likely find in a bank vault than a home. But that is now. In a few years, a red-tailed hawk or an eagle might fly over the home and not give it a second glance. The steel of the siding and roof will oxidize, and the concrete is toned so that the house will blend more and more into the canyon landscape. The Montecito Residence is a single-family home set in fire-prone Toro Canyon near Santa Barbara. Tom Kundig, multi award-winning architect, principal and owner of Olson Kundig Architects in Seattle said that the house design was dictated by the environmental conditions of the site—sun, fire, wind and the arid landscape. “The owners acquired the site because of the dramatic ocean and mountain views and the privacy afforded by the 10-acre hillside site. The design was a direct response to the site conditions, both the challenges and the opportunities,” said Kundig. He added that prior to the clients acquiring the property, the site had been cleared and levelled, removing any sense of the arid hillside. “We saw our job as healing the site, so for the most part the landscape was restored to a natural state.” The owners also wanted a house that minimized the use of scarce natural resources and that was equal to the challenging environmental conditions. The design solution was to harvest and control the very climatic conditions that put the canyon so at risk for fire: the sun and the wind. The house is made of simple, fire-resistant materials—concrete, steel and glass—while exterior perforated metal screens on its west side can be lowered to provide shade for additional fire protection.

DEFINING ICONIC WHAT DOES IT MEAN AND HOW IS IT INFLUENCING CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE?
BURJ AL ARAB HOTEL Considered the world’s most luxurious hotel and built on an artificial island 918 feet from Jumeirah Beach, the Burj Al Arab hotel is the most recognizable landmark in Dubai, UAE. Designed by British architect, Tom Wright. Photographs by Subbotina Anna.

THE NATIONAL GRAND THEATRE The spectacular glass and titanium egg-shaped National Grand Theatre, also known as the Beijing National Centre for the Performing Arts, was designed by French architect Paul Andreu. Surrounded by an artificial lake, the building seats 5,452 people and is home to an opera house, concert hall and drama theatre. Photographs by Songquan Deng (top) and Zhu Difeng (bottom).
WHAT MAKES ARCHITECTURE ICONIC? CD: It depends on context. Contemporary iconic architecture was born in Dubai and then went on to China. They are hungry to belong to the contemporary world and they get attention by creating the tallest buildings in the world, no marketing needed. GD: Iconic architecture was historically designed for kings and gods back when many people served the few. Today, many institutions and individuals can afford iconic architecture and it can give an exciting and unique face to a city. Bridges, identifiable towers and distinctive architecture give structure to our memory of a city. MG: It’s extraordinarily personal. Iconic means it relates to many people but no building can or should be all things to all people.

It seems that the use of the term “iconic” and its value when referring to architecture is an oft-debated subject these days. Is a building iconic simply because it is extremely tall or has an unusual form? Or should the term only be used to recognize architecture that is not only beautiful and perhaps unique in some way, but a functional, thoughtful and sustainable addition to its immediate environment? We spoke to three prominent Canadian architects and designers about iconic architecture and they did not hold back. Chris Doray is design principal at Chris Doray Studio, Gene Dub is owner and principal at Dub Architects and Michael Green is principal at Michael Green Architecture. Here are their thoughts:
