A portrait of Arthur Erickson, a Vancouver-based architect internationally known for his unique style.

Five of his projects are shown. He explains how the designs evolved and what he was trying to achieve. Shot on location in Canada, Japan and Kuwait, the film introduces the man, the architect, the humanist.
