Fred Hollingsworth: Art Of Architecture

West Vancouver Art Museum, West Vancouver, BC - To Dec 22

by Robin Laurance

One of the pioneers of West Coast modernist architecture is celebrated in this exhibition of artworks he created, furnishings he designed and architectural drawings he rendered in watercolour. Fred Hollingsworth, who died in 2015 at the age of 98, is strongly associated with post-war residential architecture in Vancouver. Characteristic of his houses was the use of post-and-beam construction, built-in cabinetry and inexpensive building materials, making his designs accessible to all.
