@JesseLikesCities Actually a really well taken photo. Super crisp. I took the liberty of applying a few thoughts.

Correct, which is why I used the term recommendation. There is a valid point about the "terminus ante quem vs. post quem" (before vs after). I'm less concerned about Cidex checking the attendance box, but the actual UDRP members. There have been some recent high profile projects, of major...

I would concur. This has been a frequent discussion between myself and my partner. If you consider process, the UDRP is actually more important than CPC, and there has to be a vested recognition in that importance, which I don't think is happening. Also, all things considered, if there were a...

Nice project. MoDA just won an award of excellence as noted in Canadian Architect. Good work @MoDA

Maybe I've been living under a rock a bit, but a quick question: Anyone know when the Staples location and Jysk location closed up in the Northeast? Also, was just informed that our "friendly" neighborhood ZYN wine shop closed in Inglewood.

I love thinking outside the box. I think your right about the lower bowl. The seating substructure is made up of repetitive precast concrete parts, lifted into place, and seating planks are probably precast hollow core. Looking at the aerial photo you kindly provided, I see a lot of potential...

I agree that the O2's DTR package actually helps clarify, but also points out some inconsistencies. I was reading the UDRP comments, and they identified some issues, especially regarding Ped experience along the blank wall. Is it just me, or does that DP submission read as a little rushed? Don't...

Don't think so. Title page indicates 2020, also this article appeared on CBC Calgary today: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/former-rail-line-pathway-tunnel-deerfoot-trail-repurpose-calgary-1.5803303

I'm probably living under a rock... I have not seen this before.

Rockwool Insulation panels. It's possibly their Comfortboard 110 product, designed for use as an continuous exterior insulation system

pure folly = pure waste, and I'm not buying into the flex program idea. They should just stop and throw in a multi-tiered skate board park and call it a day. Oh, and Invite graffiti artists to finish the job and salvage whatever can be of this blight. Sorry, ranting but it's been a shite day.

According to the Stampede Blog "SAM Centre will bring western heritage and culture to life with Stampede artifacts and immersive experiences that showcase the story behind the making of southern Alberta."

Absolutely Nuts.

Not with any great specificity. Although, I should point out that the scope will include preliminary design, so that may be based on some the concept and master planning that was done prior. This one has been in the hopper for quite some time. There are some other interesting notes regarding...

We had the privilege of attending the ACT procurement meeting today. CMLC stated that the information that was covered in the meeting will be posted to the CMLC consultant opportunity page in the coming days. For me to say that it is a big one is probably an understatement. They will be looking...

Car shot, I really like the brickwork as well.

Elevator. Ok. That’s great....

What a great update Surreal. The brickwork looks fantastic. If there's one thing that is bugging me it's the column diameter at the corner units. I'm wondering if they could have been a little more slender, given that it appears they have moved to steel structure above it.

Quick question for anyone: How did they handle universal accessibility to the courtyard. I confess my eyesight isn't as great as it used to be, but I don't see any ramping, (not that it was at all feasible), but I can't find vertical circulation that accesses the courtyard. I've probably just...
