      The name of one of the city's most admired architects has disappeared from the title of the firm he founded 35 years ago.

      As of today, Bing Thom Architects is now called Revery Architecture.

      "With the passing of our firm’s founder Bing Thom in 2016, the past year has been one of necessary evolution and transformation at the firm," the company said in a statement. "The new name, Revery Architecture, reflects the firm’s enduring vision to strive for exceptional design, whilst paying homage to Bing who instilled in us all the courage to dream big."

      Thom's innovative architecture, of course, will remain a permanent feature on the regional landscape.

      The Chan Centre for the Performing Arts is on UBC's Point Grey campus.

      Among his designs are the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts at UBC, the Sunset Community Centre, Surrey Centre Library, the tower housing the SFU Surrey campus, and Aberdeen Centre.

      "As he would have wished, it is now time to look forward and create anew because, as he had often said: 'The best is yet to come.' "
