Cathedral Place as a paradigm of post-modernism; a good example of a post-modern building.

Incorporates many references to specific local structures (for example, the Hotel Vancouver, Christ Church Cathedral, the Hong Kong Bank of Canada, the Marine Building and Park Place).

Cathedral Place exhibits an odd combination of details, styles and allusions, by turns miming Art Deco, CPR Chateau and Gothic.
