CAPILANO UNIVERSITY FILM SCHOOL 2009-10 ANDREW KING FOR CANNON DESIGN
2010 CANADIAN ARCHITECT AWARD OF EXCELLENCE
film is the driver for many of the formal, spatial and material development of the work. the building is defined as a ‘laboratory for film’. in this sense it addressed notions of film on multiple levels. it became a device in support of the teaching of film, it creates moments of potentially filmic power and it acts on many scales as a metaphor for filmic qualities and mechanisms. this is based on an understanding of where architecture and cinema merge.
