The abstract model
The rational for the name- from an aerial view, the tower looks like a butterfly
With the Bing Thom exhibit in the Fairmont Pacific
I went down the Fight for Beauty event today, braving the overwhelming scent of burnt cedar candles so not all will suffer as I have. The exhibit was actually decent though, and could be described as a walk down Westbank's greatest hits with a bunch of the models from previous projects. There is some info about the new Blood Alley project, as well as projects in Tokyo and Toronto. The whole thing is linked up to an audio-tour narrated by Ian Gillespie. I'll post more from the event in the general photography section later.
More related to this thread, between the materials provided, the audio tour, and in speaking with four staff members, everything indicates that the First Baptist project and "The Butterfly" are one in the same.
