[QUOTE="Admin, post: 101674, member: 1"] A prayer service will be held Sunday for Arthur Erickson, who died last week, at one of the architect's oft-overlooked buildings. Erickson designed the Ross Street Temple, the first of its kind in North America when completed in 1969, which incorporates elements of traditional Sikh construction with Erickson's own impressions of solutions to local needs. The architect came calling with his vast knowledge of design, gained by globetrotting, when the local Sikh community had outgrown its old temple. Khalsa Diwan Society Vancouver president Kashmir Singh Dhaliwal lived in India when Erickson made his trip. "It's surprising," Dhaliwal said. "He was really serious. He wanted to build a special building." Erickson described the building as, "simple, symmetrical and contained behind a walled space. I discovered later to my delight that the plan of a series of diminishing rectangular prisms, each shifting 45 degrees on axis, was typical of roof construction in northern India, where shorter available timber could span only across corners." At the top rests a dome visible from the outside from kilometres away. "His contributions, not only to the Sikh community, but all the communities of Vancouver and British Columbia have been large," Dhaliwal said. Members of the Arthur Erickson Conservancy and his family have been invited to attend the event.
