In the years following World War Two, a wave of Jewish emigres arrived in Vancouver, including a small group of young architects. These architects brought with them a Modern European influence that leave a dramatic lasting impact on the region's built environment. The Jewish Museum and Archives of BC's upcoming exhibit, New Ways of Living: Jewish Architects in Vancouver, 1955-1975, chronicles this moment in our city's history. Join us for a very special exhibit launch.

Chanel Blouin, our 2015 Young Canada Works Museum Assistant, has spent the summer and fall developing New Ways of Living. In this edition of Intersections, Chanel will take us behind the scenes to glimpse her process of developing this engaging exhibit and will be joined by a panel of architects and architectural historians who will bring greater depth to our discussion.
