Law Courts (Vancouver)
The Law Courts building is part of the landmark Robson Square complex in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It was designed by renowned Canadian architect Arthur Erickson. The Law Courts building occupies the southern block of the three city block complex, provincial government offices the middle block, and the Vancouver Art Gallery the northern block. The building is used exclusively by the two higher courts of the Province of British Columbia: the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal.
==Background==
The project began as The British Columbia Centre, a provincial government project to replace the neo-Classical courthouse forming the northern of the three Robson Square blocks which now houses the Vancouver Art Gallery. The proposed 50-storey tower, at 208 metres (682 feet), would have been the tallest skyscraper in the city (and taller than the Living Shangri-La, which holds the record as of 2011). In 1972 the provincial government of WAC Bennett was defeated by the NDP government of Dave Barrett. Just as the tower's construction phase was about to begin the plan was scrapped and Arthur Erickson Architects was commissioned to create a new design in 1973. The concept was revised into a "horizontal highrise",〔(The Independent, 19 June 2009. ) Retrieved 2011-10-01〕 "B.C. Centre on its back."〔(Emporis. ) Retrieved 2011-10-01〕 The inspiration for this has been credited both to the architect and to the government minister responsible for the courts.〔(''It's Vancouver, but not as we know it'', Vancouver Sun, June 3, 2008. ) Retrieved 2011-10-01〕 The building opened in 1980.
