Architect's firm vision helped shape Vancouver

Archiseek / Canada / News / 2005 / April 7

His architectural fingerprints have been left all over the place, from Robson Square to the Museum of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia. When The Globe and Mail's panel charged with picking the 12 greatest British Columbians of all time came to discuss Mr. Erickson's place in the history of this province, there wasn't much debate. He had to be included.
