VHF has completed a new documentary mini-series featuring local projects that showcase the sustainable possibilities of older buildings. The documentaries take an in-depth look at the restoration and infill project at the Gow Block, an energy efficient renovation of a Vancouver Special, and a lane home built behind a heritage home in Grandview-Woodlands. The films include interviews with the building owners, project details from contractors and insight from heritage professionals and historians.
The screening is followed by a panel discussion and Q&A period, withe author of Vanishing Vancouver: The Last 25 Years, Michael Kluckner; Director of the City Program at SFU, Gordon Price; Architect, Andre Rowland; and Cultural Researcher, Naveen Girn.
.
With funding from Telus, each part in the documentary film series is based on a case study completed by VHF summer intern Samuel McFaul. It is presented in partnership with UBC School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture.
