Canada Place (Vancouver)

O Canada Place é um edificio em Vancouver, Colúmbia Britânica. Aqui ficam o Centro de Exposições e espectáculos de Vancouver, o Hotel Pan Pacífico, o World Trade Center de Vancouver e um cinema 3D da IMAX, o primeiro do mundo. É também o principal terminal de navios-cruzeiro da região, onde os famosos cruzeiros de Vancouver para o Alasca começam. Foi construído para a Expo’ 86 como o Pavilhão do Canadá. Pode ser alcançado via SkyTrain ou através da Waterfront Station. As "velas" brancas do edifício fizeram-o uma das principais atrações da cidade, bem como as comparações à Ópera de Sydney, Sydney, Austrália e ao Aeroporto Internacional de Denver, Denver, E.U.A..
A estrutura foi aumentada em 2001 para acomodar outro cais de navios-cruzeiro. Atualmente está a ser construído um outro edifício que, tal como o Canada Place está a ser construído sobre a água e que, quando completo, servirá as funções de Centro de Convenções para os Jogos Olímpicos de Inverno de 2010.

Canada Place is a building situated on the Burrard Inlet waterfront of Vancouver, British Columbia. It is the home of the Vancouver Convention Centre, the Pan Pacific Hotel, Vancouver’s World Trade Centre, and the world’s first permanent IMAX 3D theatre (which ceased operation on October 1st 2009). The building’s exterior is covered by fabric roofs resembling sails. It is also the main cruise ship terminal for the region, where most of Vancouver’s famous cruises to Alaska originate. The building was designed by architect Eberhard Zeidler.
Canada Place can be reached via the SkyTrain line at the nearby Waterfront Station terminus or via West Cordova Street in Vancouver. The white sails of the building have made it a prominent landmark for the city, as well as drawing comparisons to the Sydney Opera House in Sydney, Australia and the Denver International Airport in Denver, Colorado.
The structure was expanded in 2001 to accommodate another cruise ship berth. In 2009, a companion building immediately to the northwest was completed which, like Canada Place, contains additional Convention Centre facilities as well as served as the International Broadcast Centre for the 2010 Winter Olympics while Canada Place served as the Main Press Centre.
