A beautiful day to fly over downtown.

Last weekend saw the LTX Expo take place at Vancouver Convention Center. It was my first time visiting the expo and I had a good time with thousands of others!

As I made it to Downtown on Saturday morning, the line-up already stretched far along the seawall.

Fortunately the line moved quickly and I was soon inside the Convention Center. I have never been to the lower level, which was being fully utilized by the expo.

The expo is known for a lot of things to see and do. There were so many fun challenges to take part in!

Case tossing challenge is a real LTX legend.

There were a lot of opportunities to test some high-end gaming rigs and multiplayer VR setups.

LTX is a real treasure trove for computer enthusiasts and there were several show booths about building a high-end gaming rig.

Part of the show floor was also taken by some 300+ spaces for people to bring their own computer for a massive WhaleLAN party that lasted the whole weekend.

The main stage hosted many panel discussions on several interesting topics around gaming and technology. Many of the panelists were also famous tech Youtubers.

LTX is organized by Linus Tech Tips, the popular Youtube tech channel being produced in Surrey, BC. Linus Sebastian is the founder and face of the channel and it was great to see him be the same everyman that he appears on the LTT videos.

I don't recognize a lot of Youtubers, but I do know JayzTwoCents.

LTT has over 100 people on their staff and they get featured on their videos. It was cool to see familiar faces interact with the expo goers.

Highlight of the first day was a 2.5-hour live stream of The WAN Show, which is a popular weekly video podcast by Linus and LTT's Chief Technology Office, Luke Lafreniere. It's a fun and unscripted show, and was great to see how it was being done.

Like said in the beginning, I had great time at LTX and plan on going again next year. Line management was a challenge on the first day, but the expo had over 4,000 people participating, which exceeded everyone's expectations.

It is fantastic that something like this exists in Vancouver and many people even travel from overseas to be here, which is really cool.

Pic by me today of Bentall Centre showing the consistency between the arches on the towers and the parking garage.

Bragging rights if you can name the location.

A clue please...When was it built? I see a concrete aggregate from the mid 1960's, a signature of the construction boom of schools and government buildings, like SFU Burnaby.

It is downtown. 1960s.

I'm assuming for a full photographic affect, it was taken from the top floor, a 5 storey building.

Sort of.

The shape of the well is not by chance, so it must be a trapezoidal parcel.

My guess is this building at 1455 West Georgia.
EDIT - just realized there are floorplans at that link and not it.

Maybe the Evergreen Building? EDIT - that was 1980.

More of a government facility than office. Interestingly enough, not a trapezoidal parcel.

Queen Elizabeth Theatre?

officedweller · #**2779** Posted **Oct 17, 2023, 10:53 PM**

I just realized that's polished terrazzo, rather than brutalist exposed aggregate.

Close enough for the win! It is actually the Vancouver Playhouse which, although it looks like the same building, was actually constructed after the QE Theatre building. I found it interesting that is basically a service staircase that accesses the washrooms yet a lot of work went into it. A midcentury find for sure.
