Read this special issue

If you haven't checked out Cap's literary
magazine, the Capilano Review, lately, not
perhaps being the sort who is excited by
the arcane and convoluted field of modern
literature, you may still want to take a
look at the latest issue. Number 40 is a
special in-depth examination of Robson
Square written by Fine Arts instructor Ann
Rosenberg. The issue starts with an
introduction to the old Courthouse—its
history, the design by the celebrated
architect Francis Rattenbury, and technical
aspects of building it, particularly the
dome. Rosenberg then turns to the new
Courthouse designed by Arthur Erickson,
and the renovation of the old Courthouse
that transformed it into our art gallery.
The issue includes a great many excellent
diagrams and photos, including an
outstanding section of colour photos of
the Robson Square complex. The Capilano
Review #40 is a very interesting read, and
recommended to anyone with an interest
fine arts, architecture, or the history of
Vancouver.
