Architecture
The Chan Centre was a collaborative project between three companies; Bing Thom Architects from Vancouver created the overall building design, Artec Consultants in New York designed the concert hall and acoustic specifications and Theatre Projects Consultants designed the studio theatre.
Heading the team of architects was Vancouver's own Bing Thom. ARTEC’s team was led by world renowned acoustician, Russell Johnson. Together Johnson and Thom worked to design the Chan Centre from the inside out in order to create optimum acoustics for the concert hall.

Famous quotes containing the word architecture:
“In short, the building becomes a theatrical demonstration of its functional ideal. In this romanticism, High-Tech architecture is, of course, no different in spirit—if totally different in form—from all the romantic architecture of the past.”
—Dan Cruickshank (b. 1949)
“Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change, a bridge across our fears of what has never been before.”
—Audre Lorde (1934–1992)
“All architecture is great architecture after sunset; perhaps architecture is really a nocturnal art, like the art of fireworks.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
