Park-like convention centre plan gets warm reception
A unique preliminary design for Vancouver's convention-centre addition has emerged after months of quiet negotiations between the city and designers. "We're expecting a handsome piece of architecture and this design is evolving in the right directions," said the city's central-area planning director Larry Beasley, the city's chief goal-setter when it comes to shaping the downtown's most important buildings. "We're optimistic about what we're seeing."
