Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre ,Whistler Village, British Columbia, Canada CM11-16

Description : The Squamish Lil,wat Cultural Centre is a three-storey, 30,400 square foot complex on a 1.76 hectare (4.35 acre) forested site overlooking Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains. It is designed to evoke a traditional Squamish longhouse and a Lil,wat Istken (pit house), with pictograph-adorned boulders gracing the walkways along the approach to the carved cedar entry doors. Anchored by massive Douglas Fir beams and columns, glass planking ushers in the dramatic mountain scenery to become a backdrop for art and artifacts on display. The entrance and the axis of the building align with the celestial points of the compass, as is traditional in First Nations cultures.
