Comments:
* love Erickson's architecture: MoA at UBC is stunning, befitting housed Indigenous collections

* notoriously blase about fashion, Vancouver also has weird fascination with horrid metal bars/plates building facades, other faux pas - cheap, shoddy

Dyde House is a remarkable early work by Canadian modernist architect Arthur Erickson, hidden deep in the woods of the University of Alberta Botanic Gardens. I've been fascinated by it for years. Now I'm excited for the release of a new documentary about the building - in which I get to play a small part. Here's the trailer - to whet your appetite. https://vimeo.com/826372536 #architecture #ArthurErickson #UniversityofAlberta #Edmonton #ParklandCounty #yeg #DydeHouse #yegheritage #yeghistory
