The H.R. MacMillan Space Centre, founded 1968, is an astronomy museum in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, located at Vanier Park in Vancouver. The Space Centre is named for H. R. MacMillan, a British Columbia industrialist and philanthropist. The building was designed in the 1960s by architect Gerald Hamilton to house what was then called The Centennial Museum. The facility was refurbished and renovated to include the Space Centre exhibit space in 1997-98 by Matsuzaki Wright Architects.
We put this video together to feature the Architectural Photos we captured of the facility and to illustrate some of the workflow that contributes to the process and production that is part of DOUBLE VISION’s Architectural Photography Gallery. The H.R. MacMillan Space Centre is a place Vancouverites either hate or love, to many it sticks out like an eye sore, to design enthusiasts it’s a revered part of the city’s history, the Golden 60s. We find it intriguing none the less, the contrast of the retro design struggles to find a way to fit in with the city’s modern glass skyline. This perhaps is part of the appeal and yes it may look like the worlds largest roulette wheel but one things for sure it’s definitely not lost in space just in Vancouver.
