[From front jacket flap] Arching over the entrance to Vancouver's harbour is a beautiful web of intricately suspended steel. Day and night, its taut steel strings sing the original hymn to progress, hope and riches first composed in the hearts and minds of its builders. Celebrated in Douglas Coupland's paean as a bridge to heaven, the Lions Gate Bridge has become an icon of the city, not only to heritage conservationists, but to citizens of and visitors to Vancouver from around the globe. Like all great historic landmarks, the Lions Gate Bridge remains a source of powerful, sometimes illuminating, sometimes mysterious stories of the people and times which gave birth to it. In addition to celebrating this bridge and its grand design, Lions Gate sets out to reveal these stories for the first time, including the unresolved violation of nationhood the building of the bridge on Native land entailed. Most mysterious of all is the figure of the man who both conceived and built this great enterprise. A.J.T. Taylor is a character straight out of Ayn Rand: ambitious, shrewd, visionary, fearless, competitive, a man given to great economic and political risk, he appears to triumph in the embrace of Britain s nobility, high society, and financiers he has courted, and who appear to make the completion of his project both physically and politically possible. Yet at the royal opening ceremonies, he is not represented among the dignitaries, but watches from the sidelines with the ordinary citizens, having earlier surreptitiously sealed his story into one of Charles Marega's lions who guard the south approach to this bridge of mystery.…

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. The book is in very good condition, little shelf rubbing apparent. The text and images inside appear clean and clear throughout. 'Printed in two colours throughout and richly illustrated with over 600 photographs and duotones of these architects' most important works, Building the West tells the stories, discovers the hopes and aspirations, and celebrates the successes and accomplishments of the early architects of British Columbia as it illustrates their lives and careers, many of which extended along the North American west coast from California to Alaska. Starting before the first flood of colonists in the gold rush of 1858, it follows the lives of almost 400 individuals first drawn here by the opportunities of frontier settlement and encompasses the broad sweep of British Columbia's history. Their individual accomplishments were remarkable, given the difficult conditions they often faced. As most of these architects had their roots in other countries, this project required over ten years of intensive research to unravel their many mysteries. Including the work of over fifty-seven contributors, project directors Donald Luxton and Stuart Stark were able to solicit substantial contributions from heritage researchers as far away as Scotland, England, New Zealand and the United States of America, as well as from sources all over Canada. Building the West is intended for a general readership and is of wide interest as a definitive and biographical reference source. Building the West has won numerous awards, including: Heritage Canada Achievement Award (2003), the 2004 City of Vancouver Heritage Award of Honour, BC Book Prize, the Roderick Haig-Brown Regional Prize (2004), Architectural Institute of British Columbia Special Jury Prize (2004) and the Canadian Association of Professional Heritage Consultants Award of Honour (2004).' 560 pages. 8 x 10.75 inches.
