C.1 Telus World of Science (Development Permit)
Michael Corpuz - DIALOG

Motion of support with conditions
● While the Committee feels the form, mass and materiality of the building is
generally appropriate and sympathetic to the original building.
● The location of the new building entrance has a weak architectural
expression, and the overall entry sequence from the parking is
underwhelming and lacks definition, legibility and visual and thematic
interest (ie. water)
● The landscape development is lacking. The overall landscape strategy is
overdesigned and poorly composed, with a lack of thematic continuity with
the building program and expression, and the open space areas (ie. entrance
forecourt) for gathering lack a scale and stature appropriate to the
architecture.
● It is important that the building and site lighting strategy bring continuity to
the overall building and site development

Wow that is the most savage thing that the City Design Committee has ever said.
"The location of the new building entrance has a weak architectural expression, and the overall entry sequence from the parking is underwhelming and lacks definition"
I thought it looked pretty cool!
