Vancouver Design Week Wants to Know Your Favourite ‘Design Landmarks’

The third annual Vancouver Design Week is still a while away (May 7-13) but organisers are asking Vancouverites for your input in advance. They want you to use this simple voting system to pick your favourite space/place around the city, be it a building you see on your daily commute; a piece of public art that has some special meaning to you; a restaurant that makes you feel at home; or what have you — just so long as you consider it a ‘Design Landmark’.

Voting ends on April 26th, which gives you plenty of time to think about the places you find most intriguing. We suggest convincing your friends to vote too, because the places that receive the most nominations will be included in a series of designer-led tours taking place during the VDW’s weekend calendar. Get on it ASAP here.
