The Lang Wilson Practice in Architecture Culture (LWPAC) is an architectural firm founded in 1999 by Oliver Lang and Cynthia Wilson.[1] It was first launched in New York City before being permanently based in Vancouver, British Columbia, where it evolved into an interdisciplinary business.[2]

History

[edit]

The architectural and cultural firm delivers unified resolutions to serve innovative ideas for projects.[clarification needed][2] LWPAC works on projects that are large scale; urban planning, and housing complexes, as well as small scale such as art installations.[2]

LWPAC was co-founded by German-Canadian architect and urban entrepreneur Oliver Lang and Canadian designer and cultural entrepreneur Cindy Wilson.[3] They have worked together in Canada, United States and Germany, to bring-forth a communal and global experience to their projects.[3] LWPAC serves as a platform for architecture and urban design.[2]
