According to the architecture firm, the skyscraper was designed to respond to the contours of buildings on the Vancouver skyline.
The Japanese architectural office Kengo Kuma & Associates completed him 43-story Alberni skyscraper in the Coal Harbor neighborhood of Vancouver.
According to the office, the skyscraper was designed to respond to the skyline of Vancouver, a city known for its density of glass-clad skyscrapers. “The uniformity of the materiality of Vancouver’s skyscrapers is both its strength – a distinctive, unified landscape – and an opportunity to offer something differentKuma said. “Our decisions were less a direct reaction to the ubiquitous glass and more an intention to create a skyscraper whose high mass would be made up of smaller sections, staying within the realm of metal and wood” he continued.
“We are interested in relationships with environments rather than things in themselves, and multiple smaller sections suggest a more porous relationship – as opposed to heavier solid volumes – with the site through view, air, light. For us, a building is not an autonomous object but a series of relationships made possible by architectural actions. Some see building, we see associations and activities».
