C. K. Choi Building, Research facility at University of British Columbia, Canada.
The C. K. Choi Building features five distinct volumes connected by corridors, incorporating natural ventilation systems and operable windows across three floors.
Inaugurated in 1996, the structure utilized timber elements from the adjacent 1941 Armory building, which served for military training during World War II.
The Institute of Asian Research occupies this building where five stone boulders display Confucian virtues in the Stone Garden plaza.
Located at 1855 West Mall, the building integrates sensors that control lighting systems and collects rainwater in storage tanks for irrigation purposes.
Half of the construction materials came from reclaimed sources, including bricks from downtown Vancouver streets and wooden beams from demolished structures.
