No not Telus Spark, I said the old science centre will be converted into the art gallery, Telus Spark is the new science centre.

The proposed art gallery or Telus Spark? I've only been to Spark once and I was really underwhelmed.

The proposed art gallery. Contemporary Calgary http://www.contemporarycalgary.com/ is planning to use the old science centre for the new art museum. An excellent idea IMO.

I kind of feel the same way about Spark. The area for little kids is great, but overall it's underwhelming for the adults. I was hoping for better, but the new Library and Music centre look like they will hit the mark.

Not sure if you guys have seen it or knew about it, but there's apparently a Lego model of the new library, and it's awesome.

Very cool. I saw this on twitter a while back and was meaning to look more into it. It's the same guy that did the lego model for N3.

Thanks for the updates Surreal, the shape of this building certainly requires an extensive amount of pics just to get the full scope.

Yep, it's much bigger than it looks in the renderings.

Thanks for the close ups Bobby. I saw the steel the other day from afar, but I didn't have time to go check it out in person. I can't wait for more of the form to emerge on the Library.

Really coming along. Great updates by the way.
