The Paradise Makers Lecture Series – Those who shaped Vancouver in the Post-war

Rand Iredale: Pioneer, Architect, Mentor

Contemporary Vancouver was shaped not just by its famous architects—like Arthur Erickson—but also by the architectural offices they established. Along with Arthur Erickson's influential office, one firm stands out for its leading stand on urban policy, heritage conservation and a search for an architecture appropriate for the new Vancouver: Rhone & Iredale Partners. Rand Iredale was the creative and intellectual hub of this office — which trained such prominent designers as Richard Henriquez, Peter Cardew, Peter Busby — and the subject of a new book by Kathryn Iredale with Sheila Martineau, Finding a Good Fit: The Life and Work of Architect Rand Iredale.

Not only will you gain insights into the character of the man, but also of the city in which he lived and helped shape.
