Architects



Ian's always talking about "the architects" and the role they played in bringing modernism to the Vancouver "frontier." Architects like Abraham Rogatnick and Arthur Erickson, but not Gerald Hamilton, whose H.R. MacMillan Space Centre opened in 1968.

The photo above was taken by "frontier" artist Christos Dikeakos in 1969 and includes Hamilton's  Space Centre at Vanier Park. After completing the Space Centre, Hamilton designed the St. George's Greek Orthodox Cathedral (1970) at Arbutus and Valley Drive.
