The slight variation in colour, and the efflorescence on some panels suggests the cladding may be terracotta.

In that case this actually might turn out pretty nice. Always assumed it was going to be all metal panels.

The composition of the facades is enhanced by the use of colour. The
earth and dust from which people are born and return is expressed
predominantly in ochre, copper and clay tones. This range of colour
is used as a “forward welcoming embrace” at key locations such as
the public-facing West Block façade. To breakdown the large building
massing and to contrast with the forward earth tones, dark gray/black
is used to create recessive, shadowed areas of the facades. Areas of
distinction such as the Chapel and the Main Entrance, are highlighted
against the dark gray/black pedestrian-level podium in light gray
masonry.

What do we call this style of 21st century brutalism?

madog222 · #**968** Posted **Jul 10, 2024, 12:35 PM**

We call it a hospital.

It’s always surprising when I get close as to how massive this building is.

Brutalism does not want to be associated with this assault on the senses

Whatever the material, with the putrid colour, I always assume the result will be quite similar to this fairly new turd in Victoria

You know architects have gone off the deep end when they think this:

has anything to do with the sketches in this:

20th century institutional brutalism would like a word:

The Victoria one is quite similar to the Centennial Pavilion in massing.

Burnaby's new hospital wing is the monochromatic version of St Pauls

Royal Columbian's new wing in New Westminster had renders showing a version with swoopy curves, and then one with blue panels. This is what's being built.
