Network Processor Architecture

Of the many buildings created by Arthur Erickson, two university projects in British Columbia stand out for his mastery of concrete and glass. These are the Museum of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia and the campus for Simon Fraser University.

These buildings are noteworthy for the way they appear to emerge from their respective sites rather than dominating them. At a time when many modern architects were making monumental statements with cast concrete, Erickson looked for ways to create buildings that behaved like natural additions to the landscape.

Erickson designed a host of famous structures, from the Canadian embassy in Washington, D.C., to the inverted pyramid pavilion for Canada at Expo 67 in Montreal. These cemented his reputation internationally, but it was his architecture for his native province that best spoke to his passion for designing in tune with place.
