After a contentious mayoral race in October that saw the incumbent win by a slim margin, Vancouver faces growing pains as it grapples with being one of the world’s most liveable yet unaffordable cities. Its charms and natural landscapes attract international interest yet exile long time residents and creatives to its suburban margins.

在10月份一场有争议的市长竞选中，现任市长以微弱优势获胜，之后，温哥华面临着日益增长的痛苦，因为它正努力应对成为世界上最宜居但又负担不起的城市之一。它的魅力和自然景观吸引了国际社会的兴趣，但长期流亡到郊区的居民和创意人员。

With Vancouverism once exported as an international model for sustainable city building, Canada’s third largest metropolis is in the midst of a housing crisis that threatens its very civic health. Yet at the same time, the city is seeing a slew of new public projects emerge, as well as some of the world’s biggest names in architecture flocking in to build here.

温哥华曾经是可持续城市建设的国际典范，这座加拿大第三大城市正处于住房危机之中，这场危机威胁着它的公民健康。然而，与此同时，这座城市正在出现大量新的公共项目，以及一些世界上最著名的建筑公司蜂拥而至。

Poised between its relatively recent past, and its future as a growing global metropolis, the 133-year-old city boasts a key new cultural space; the Vancouver Art Gallery is part of the sea change. The current Edwardian former courthouse, bursting at the seams, will give way to a new 300,000 sq ft gallery designed by Herzog - de Meuron and slated for completion in 2023.

这座有133年历史的城市在其相对较近的过去和作为一个日益增长的全球大都市的未来之间，拥有一个重要的新文化空间；温哥华美术馆是这场巨变的一部分。目前爱德华兹式的前法院大楼在接缝处爆满，将让位给一个由赫尔佐格设计的300，000平方英尺的新画廊。

Vancouver based developer Westbank has attracted international starchitects like Kengo Kuma and BIG, to design mixed used residential towers, and Büro Ole Scheeren has unveiled plans for two ‘vertical village’ skyscrapers.

位于温哥华的开发商Westbank吸引了Kengo Kuma和Big等国际明星来设计混合使用的住宅楼，而Büro Ole Scheen则公布了建造两座“垂直村”摩天大楼的计划。

On the city’s edges, there is a flurry of activity at the Arthur Erickson designed Simon Fraser University – where Perkins and Will have designed a new Student Union Building. Meanwhile at UBC, a luminescent new aquatic centre by MJMA - Acton Ostry Architects is the latest jewel in the campus crown. In between these two campuses, the new Emily Carr University of Art and Design by Diamond Schmitt Architects lends a multidisciplinary industrial edge to the surrounding new Great Northern Way arts district.

在这座城市的边缘，在亚瑟·埃里克森设计的西蒙·弗雷泽大学(SimonFraser University)上，有一系列的活动-珀金斯将在那里设计一座新的学生会大楼。同时，在UBC，一个发光的新水生中心，由MJMA

Patkau Architects who won a RIBA award in 2018 for their Audain Art Museum in Whistler, have triumphed again with the impressive Polygon Gallery in North Vancouver, where Michael Green’s city hall references both mid century optimism and 21st century green technology.

帕托建筑师因其位于惠斯勒的奥丹艺术博物馆于2018年获得了RIBA奖。他再次赢得了北温哥华令人印象深刻的波利贡画廊的成功。迈克尔·格林的市政厅既提到了世纪中叶的乐观态度，也提到了21世纪的绿色技术。

But projects by the city’s patron saint of modernism, the late Arthur Erickson – like his Robson Square urban plaza and his Museum of Anthropology – still hold their own. And now his 1980 Evergreen Building that narrowly escaped demolition over a decade ago will enjoy an extraordinary architectural homage by the likes of Shigeru Ban – an elegantly small footprint triangular glass and wood tower that practices true architectural symbiosis, extruding organically from its neighbour.

但这座城市的现代主义守护神、已故的亚瑟·埃里克森(Arthur Erickson)-就像他的罗布森广场(Robson Square)城市广场和他的人类学博物馆(Museum Of Anthropolology)一样-现在，他的1980年长青大厦在十多年前险些被拆除，它将受到Shigeru ban等人的非同寻常的建筑敬意-这是一座优雅的小脚印三角形玻璃和木塔，实现了真正的建筑共生，有机地从它的邻居那里凸现出来。

Original landscape architect and longtime Erickson collaborator, 95 year old Cornelia Oberlander has been commissioned to streamline terraced plantings, and her rooftop garden for Moshe Safdie’s Vancouver Public Library opened in September, offering a timely reminder of how Vancouver can stay true to its ‘green city’, community minded ideal. §

95岁的科妮莉娅·奥伯兰德(CorneliaOberlander)是原景观设计师和埃里克森的长期合作者，她受托简化梯田种植，她为莫舍·萨夫迪埃(Mohe Safdie)的温哥华公共图书馆(温哥华公共图书馆)设计的屋顶花园于9月份开放，及时提醒人们，温哥华如何才能保持对其“绿色城市”和社区§

奥克里奇由格雷戈里·亨利克斯(GregoryHenriquez)提出，奥克里奇从上世纪中叶的郊区购物中心转型为勇敢的新市民世界，真是令人吃惊。奥克里奇由格雷戈里·亨利克斯(GregoryHenriquez)提出，奥克里奇从上世纪中叶的郊区购物中心转型为勇敢的新市民世界，真是令人吃惊。
