The previous design was no masterpiece but at least it was distinctive. The expansion will be a generic glass box, similar to what has been done to the TNM just down the street (which also erased a more distinctive design by Dan Hanganu).
Beyond the design, it says a lot about the sad state of culture in this country when Canada’s leading contemporary art museum will have been closed for more than seven years for a pretty modest expansion. Meanwhile, the Vancouver Art Gallery just cancelled plans for its new building — which was designed by Herzog & de Meuron, who did the Tate Modern and many other beautiful structures — and will go back to the drawing board to find something cheaper.
