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.
