TIME: 9:00 PM EDT
The West Coast Modern League with Inform Interiors present Toronto-based architect Siamak Hariri, architect of the soon-to-open Marianne and Edward Gibson Art Museum at Simon Fraser University’s Burnaby Campus, on March 24th.
Siamak Hariri is founding partner of Hariri Pontarini Architects, a 150-person firm now in its fourth decade of practice in Toronto. His portfolio comprises cultural, academic, healthcare, spiritual, and residential projects throughout Canada and abroad. The firm has won more than 100 awards, including five Governor General’s Medals in Architecture and the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada’s (RAIC) Architectural Firm Award and Innovation in Architecture Award.
To every creative project, Siamak brings a profound interest in light, form, site, material, and craft, through which he has delivered admired and transformative architectural design. Among his many notable works are the Bahá’í Temple of South America in Santiago, Chile; the Tom Patterson Theatre at the Stratford Festival; and Casey House and the BARLO MS Centre in Toronto. In addition to the Marianne and Edward Gibson Art Museum, he is currently working on OpenROM, a reimagining of the Royal Ontario Museum.
The event is hosted in-person in Vancouver, BC, though a livestream of the talk will be available starting at 9:00 PM EST (6:00 PM PST) on Monday, March 24.
