i think to suggest that represents BC is disrespectful to all the other things BC has to offer. Innately, BC is all about it's natural beauty, the local mountains, our coastlines, etc. it's not known for anything man made, Canada is too young for anything like that.
I think suggesting BC place is something that BC residents should be proud of or represented by is mind boggling.

everything starts somewhere certainly BC Place doesn't have the esteem as the other structures and monuments do but it has represented BC not only in name but in community and visage for the past Three Decades and it will only continue to do so, it's up to us to develop that reverence
when people think of BC or Vancouver or when they search for it the thing that hits you first is BC Place; it's one of our many monuments certainly a modern one but as you mentioned we're a young nation, modern monuments is all we can really expect
but as I said I can see how that view wouldn't be shared
