I think you're right. Jim Prentice announced a renovation and a smaller cancer centre at the South Health Campus. It was Notley who reversed the decision and led to the new comprehensive cancer centre at Foothills...

Wow, the trees in Bridgeland are really thriving!

What is the likelihood we can see a redesign of the new arena?

Design team announced for Stephen Avenue redesign https://calgary.ctvnews.ca/design-team-announced-for-stephen-avenue-redesign-1.5958677

Thanks for sharing. Just going over the slide notes, it mentions that the city is interested in creating gateways to Chinatown but "[w]hat is meant by gateways is not necessarily a physical structure". Just a bit disappointed by this statement as Calgary's Chinatown is one of the only major...

Is the landscaping complete for the 5th street underpass? Currently, it leaves a lot to be desired...

I remember the architect from Snohetta explicitly stating that he didn't want to incorporate a +15 during the library design unveiling. He brought up how Norway, also a winter city, didn't have any +15's and people still survive.

I do hope that some elements of the concept design can be retained including the staggered floors to minimize shadowing on the north side of street and the retail fronting 17th Ave. Hopefully, this also spurs development of its neighbours in the former Purr building that has sat empty for years now.

I completely agree that improved retail could really benefit downtown. We already have a great space for it with the Core, which has amazing transit access being right beside the mall (compared to blocks away at Chinook) and accessible by both the blue and red line, but the leasing of stores has...

I believe it's the new Court of Appeal, which includes a new building and the restoration of the historic Court of Appeal to the south https://majorprojects.alberta.ca/details/Calgary-Court-of-Appeal/4367

I think Platform will also be featured prominently in The Last of Us as architecture of the impending zombie apocalypse 😅

I really wish someone at the City reads this forum. @CBBarnett - Your post literally captures everything wrong with 17th Ave and Tompkins Park 👏

Any word on the leasing of the ground floor? I would hate for the retail to sit empty considering how large and expansive the space is.

So KPMB is doing both Arts Commons and Contemporary Calgary? I do love their work, but would have liked to see a different architect be awarded. Still excited to see what the have planned!

Just looked at the original renderings on the first page and this building definitely turned out exactly as depicted. Great addition to the city!

Unfortunately, the west side's podium interaction is weaker than the east side. It's quite stepped back from the sidewalk with a giant blank wall along the underpass.

My guess is that because the light display is actually a public art piece called "Northern Lights" by Douglas Coupland, it's not intended to be adaptable by the owners of the building for different seasons or events. I imagine there might be legal issues similar to the Flight Stop where the...

MODA just posted these pics on their Instagram stories. I believe this is for the N site in East Village, which is east of the new M2 building.

Between AtLRG and 5468796 Architecture, can I just say that Winnipeg has some very impressive design studios doing some really good work in our city?

Looks great! I believe the Curryer started as a food truck, so really happy that they now have a more permanent space
