Nearly ten months have passed since architect Bing Thom died suddenly from a brain aneurysm, and a new exhibition in the city where he worked is honoring his eponymous firm. On display through Aug. 21, "Building Beyond Buildings" at the Architectural Institute of British Columbia features models, drawings, and photographs of a selection of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada Gold Medalist's work accompanied by recent projects by Bing Thom Architects, today led by principals Venelin Kokalov and Michael Heeney.

"This exhibit is a celebration of Bing Thom, the firm, and the journey we have shared with him. It is an expression of gratitude for the values Mr. Thom instilled in the practice and for these same values that will carry the firm forward," Kokalov said in a press release.
