Built on a triangular plot of land right in the center of the city, the twisting form of the Vancouver House skyscraper bends around the nearby Granville Street Bridge and high into the sky, getting wider as it goes up. It’s an engineering marvel that doesn’t seem real.

It looks like no part of the building overhangs the road, so why build in this shape at all?

Restrictions prevent building condo towers so close to the bridge

city restrictions mean the building must be a certain distance from the bridge.

They had to make sure the adjacent park was not shaded. City required the park to have sunshine, so creativity was essential.

Mostly used for investment and hence empty. Iconic nonetheless.

We can send a rocket to the moon and dune buggies to Mars but, we still build with materials that won't last more than a few centuries.

I still don't understand why build it this was? It looks lithe building has enough clearance from the road. It is just architects trying to stand up themselves. Lol

I think it was a project that was fueled by the desire to show off. But a show off to inspire people, Bjarke Ingels usully does that

Lets be fair, most of those old structure require constant unrelenting maintenance, and while its true we can send stuff on the moon a d mars doing so is not something done everyday by every city in the world by everyday peoples. It both expensive and still to this day resources intensive and while it might seem easy to enforce long lasting construction its not when most city expect to demolish those building later when they have to expend or reorganize themselves.also contrary to what most believe durability in construction is about design not material armed concrete can last century. Also a more durable efficient building is a pyramid shaped one, needing lot of ground surface and space near city center are expensive. Building wide seem perfect until your take transit into account.
