Erickson, Arthur (Charles)
- Erickson, Arthur (Charles)
-
Canadian architect.
He first earned wide recognition with his plan for Simon Fraser University (1963–65), designed with Geoffrey Massey, which included an enormous skylit indoor plaza that served as a sensitive response to a cool, rainy climate. Robson Square, Vancouver (1978–79), a large civic centre, incorporates waterfalls, a roof garden, plazas, and stairs with integrated ramps. His other works include the University of British Columbia's Museum of Anthropology (1976), with its succession of concrete piers and broad expanses of glass, and the Canadian Embassy in Washington, D.C. (1989), a blend of contemporary and Neoclassical elements that echo its surroundings.
