Dan White is the subject of an upcoming exhibition this fall at the Museum of Vancouver.
The show runs from October 2013-March 2014 and is guest curated by Greg Johnson and Martin Lewis with Viviane Gosselin of the Museum of Vancouver.
In the meantime, check out the tumblr site dedicated to White's architecture - primarily late modern residential with a strong linear quality and close connection to site.
White's is a unique body of work that hasn't received its due, perhaps because his career blossomed in the shadow of the initial wave of West Coast Modern architects or perhaps because of his focus on the residential sphere.
Whatever the reason, the exhibition looks to reassess a quiet but important West Coast legacy.

Heritage Vancouver has released its annual Top Ten Endangered list.
At the top is Paul Merrick's wonderful Forest Education Centre (pictured above) at VanDusen Botanical Garden. Other endangered buildings include the Vancouver Post Office and the Waldorf Hotel.
If you feel strongly about the preservation of these sites, let the City of Vancouver know.

Barry Downs' exhibition runs at the West Vancouver Museum from May 8-June 15th, 2013. The opening reception happens on May 14th.
It's part of a strong West Coast Modern line-up the museum is mounting through the summer and into the fall, including West Coast Points East: Ron Thom and the Allied Arts, guest curated by Adele Weder.
Both will be essential viewing for anyone interested in a deeper understanding of two of Vancouver's finest practitioners.
