Reseña del editor

During the performing arts centre boom of the last 25 years, too many public performing arts centres opened to acid critical reviews and public disappointment. Yet, some, like Bing Thom Architect's Chan Centre project in Vancouver, British Columbia, have succeeded well beyond reasonable expectations. More than just an architecture book, Scale + Timbre is the biography of a building, and the story of its designers' passions and obsessions. From the Hong Kong meeting - where a Chinese immigrant turned tycoon started the ball rolling by making the largest gift to a cultural organization in Canada's history - to the Centre's opening night, Scale + Timbre tells the tales and reveals the struggles behind making a great public building possible.

Reseña del editor

The Chan Centre for the Performing Arts was designed by Bing Thom Architects (BTA) of Vancouver, BC. The Chan's international celebrity has earned Thom and his team plaudits from artists, architects, arts administrator, and critics. When Thom and acoustician Russell Johnson originally conceived Vancouver's Chan Centre, their intention was not so much to create a concert hall as a musical instrument. "If you've ever taken a mirror and looked inside a stringed instrument, that's what the Chan feels like. The sense is that the hail or even the audience is pulling the sound out of the instruments..., " the Kronos Quartet's David harrington observed. Scale + Timbre relates how the Chan Centre is transforming expectations about what a concert hall should be, revealing the struggles, insight, and innovation that brought it into being.
