Whenever I come home from being out east (Maritimes) the pickup trucks are always the first thing I notice. The sheer volume is insane.

We can literally do that on the site of the Saddledome, but instead of the BC place crown thing, make it Pringle shaped like the Saddledome. It can still be a fabric roof, doesn't even need to be retractable (idk how you'd do that with that roof shape). Add a ring of LEDs around the perimeter...

I'm planning on producing a design for stampede park at some point that includes this. Though my motivation to do it is a little diminished now that I know populous is doing the same thing and no matter what I do stampede is just gonna go with their shit I think it's absolutely a no brainer to...

I'm of the opinion that new amphitheatre style venue for the coke stage should be built on the current saddledome site with a huge permanent canopy in the same shape of the saddledome. Similar programmatically to the new PNE amphitheatre in Vancouver.

Why do I feel like Populous is gonna shit the bed on this. Why are they just handing such an important project to an office like populous. Redesigning stampede park is a monumental task and a generational opportunity. It should be put to a design competition and we should be getting...

Maybe 17th and Macleod will become a premiere destination and prestigious address. One day. Maybe before the heat death of the universe

Hoooooooly crap

One can dream... Macleod is such a blight on downtown (and in general)

I'd hate it a lot less if the built out squares followed some pattern rather than being placed randomly

Yes the setbacks do really lower the quality. The bar is so ridiculously low for design in Calgary I am still impressed, especially when it's Dialog were talking about.

Holy moly is this actually gonna be good??? Unbelievable

They're doing terracotta???? Ok this might turn out REALLY good. Do we know if there are CRUs or what's going on in that alleyway? It looks like it could be really cool

Both designs are pretty great. I'm sad we're only getting one and not both :( On another note, it's interesting how Dialog Calgary seems to be exceptionally good at residential design, whereas they and every other Dialog office in the country are completely awful at designing anything else.

Yeah my issue isn't the materials or colour (assuming they turn out nice, though now that I think about it red and green is a pretty bad colour combination unless it's for Christmas lights). My issue is just with the massing of that portion. It looks really awkward

The red part looks like it could be really good, but the other (green?) part in the third picture does not look good

For how aggressively they're marketing it and the insane amount they are charging this thing better damn well blow the renders out of the water. I'm expecting extremely high quality materials and detailing because the overall design itself is extremely bland. There's nothing wrong with a boring...

In person the cladding doesn't look awful. Certainly not an atrocity, give me a break. From far away it looks good, up close I'm seeing some issues with seams between panels. It doesn't look like the cladding was installed very well tbh.

Spoiler: they will not use nice materials and it most definitely will not be walkable (except for a select area). The community is inherently limited by its location. Just like every other neighbourhood in the area everyone will need to own multiple cars just to live and if you want anything...

This whole thing is completely ridiculous. And jayman is going to make so. much. money from it
