Architecture must speak without words, utilizing the materiality of architecture to stimulate and enrich the senses of smell, sight, sound and touch. In the end, the work of art must speak to the deepest levels of one’s psyche - to grow and develop roots so that one yearns to return and be refilled.
The AIBC is pleased to host the work of Bing Thom Architects in the AIBC's Architecture Centre Gallery this summer. The exhibition pays tribute to the firm’s legendary founder, Bing Thom Architect AIBC, who passed away unexpectedly this past year.Â

The exhibit title ‘Building Beyond Buildings’ is an expression that Bing used to describe architecture’s potential to transcend simple bricks and mortar and to shine a light out to the community, enriching the lives of those it touches. The exhibit leads visitors through Bing Thom Architects’ design process. Woven throughout are the two lines of exploration – cultural sustainability and material assembly - that ultimately inform BTA’s architecture.
