The Emergence of Architectural Modernism II: UVic and the Victoria
Regional Aesthetic in the late 1950s and 60s

During the late 50s and 60s, a small number of legacy architectural firms
changed Victoria's built environment with forward-looking planning and
bold new architectural forms. Using plans, drawings, photographs and
architectural models from the period, this exhibit explores a number of
planning initiatives, design projects and building programs that defined
this important phase in the development of the Capital Region.

This is the second in a series of exhibitions and publications exploring
the relationships, personalities and projects contributing to the
development of a regional modernist aesthetic in the post-war Victoria
urban landscape. This exhibition develops themes of the earlier exhibition
Town and Gown: Centennial Square and the Gordon Head Campus: Seminal
Projects (1962--1972) March 10--May 2, 2011.

This free exhibit runs November 30, 2011, to February 26, 2012, at the
Legacy Art Gallery, 630 Yates Street. Hours are Wednesday to Saturday, 10
a.m. to 4 p.m.
