Form and Place: Arthur Erickson (Short Film)

He left a legacy of inspiring buildings across Canada and around the world. A number of his homes and buildings remain as iconic structures in the fabric of BC’s landscape.  This film contemplates a number of those places and spaces while an archived interview with the architect plays out within them resonating with the structures and locations. The effect is a merging of the voice and philosophy of Erickson with his finished work.
