Unitarian Church

Built in 1964, the Unitarian Church of Vancouver an excellent example of Modernist design ideals brought to bear on a place of worship. The building is also significant because its forms and details respond to the programmatic challenges of the physical requirements of site and use, as well as to Unitarian emphasis on the questioning mind and unrestricted use of reason.

The building was the winner of the first Citation Buildings Competition in 1965. It is a fine example of the Modernist idiom, possibly influenced by the Prairie School of Frank Lloyd Wright but given a local interpretation. The building was designed by architect Wolfgang Gerson.
