I don't think the WLRT will be quite that high up the entire length, going by the video that released its not as high as the Greyhound building. And the LRV's themselves are a little on the exagerated size.

Otherwise, great work once again

Great job, the beltline looks great in the second render.

Witty Nickname · #**383** Posted **Dec 21, 2008, 11:57 PM**

Outstanding job CtrlAltDel!

Jimby · #**384** Posted **Dec 22, 2008, 12:32 AM**

2 thumbs up from me!

CtrlAltDel · #**385** Posted **Dec 22, 2008, 2:10 AM**

Thanks guys!
Yah the CTrain is a little exagerated Mersar. Ah well. It's all for fun anyway...
I didn't want to peg a date onto these. Any guesses as to what year these could be?

Bokimon · #**386** Posted **Dec 22, 2008, 4:33 AM**

excellent work as usual Devin!!
I look forward to seeing many of these in the coming years!!
On a nitpicky note Jamieson and EAP looks a little funny in the first pict as the rear profiles of the buildings are different.

CtrlAltDel · #**387** Posted **Dec 22, 2008, 6:35 AM**

Yah...I lost the only picture I had of what the back of the buildings looked like in detail.

Awesome job man! Did you design the bridge too? Maybe you should work for Calatrava.

O-tacular · #**389** Posted **Dec 22, 2008, 10:53 PM**

Amazing work as always. If the Calatrava bridge and the organic tower look anything like you imagined them they will be truly amazing.

Surrealplaces · #**390** Posted **Dec 22, 2008, 11:17 PM**

Awesome job Devin! It's too bad the public couldn't this shot withe the pedestrian bridge in it. It really shows the potential of how it could look.

The blue curvy, organic looking building is based on descriptions we've heard for the Eau Claire site, but it's just a stand-in. Same with the pedestrian bridge spanning the Bow river. For continuity's sake, I kept everything the same.

There could be some minor placement and height issues, but it's been double checked by Boris2k7 for accuracy.

If you'd like a high res version, let me know and I can email it.

Here's to better times in '09

Bigtime · #**391** Posted **Dec 22, 2008, 11:28 PM**

Great work as always! However you didn't give any love to arriVa 42 on that view from the north.

Wooster · #**392** Posted **Dec 23, 2008, 12:38 AM**

You could also do Grosvenor at 5th and 10th, particularly in the view from the west.

Outstanding once again.

Innersoul1 · #**393** Posted **Dec 23, 2008, 1:12 AM**

Solid work my friend! You are a star!!!!

Best early Christmas present yet!!!

CtrlAltDel · #**394** Posted **Dec 23, 2008, 1:31 AM**

Thanks D! I was going to send you the high res versions but I couldn't find your email.

Wooster, your right. I forgot about Grosvenor. Next time around I'll put it in.

And I totally missed Arriva 42. It should just poke out above the Marriott (?) on the left. Arriva 12 might even poke out the side a little.

The pedestrian bridge was taken from the net, I'm not sure who designed it, but I thought it would fit in with the curved theme Calgary is running with.

Calgarian · #**395** Posted **Dec 23, 2008, 2:53 AM**

Phenomenal work as usual!!

craner · #**396** Posted **Dec 23, 2008, 5:26 AM**

Nice!

Once again C-A-D you have made my week - and I thank you. I love the bridge, love the WLRT, and most of all . . . the future skyline.
I'm hoping by 2015 it will look pretty close to what you have pictured.

Is the Bow seriously going to look that widebody? I hope it's at least a little more slender.

I'm pretty sure that is the right view and image, if anyone should know it would be Ctrl!

That's the thing with a curved/round building. I think it might always look a little bit wide in 2d pictures, but it won't look as wide in real life, due to the curves.

Also, Ctrl Alt Del, did you just redraw a version of the Bow from memory? While it still looks like the bow, the elevation isn't right, especially when your other drawings have used the right elevations? There are only 10 "bands" of 6 floors with a horizontal piece of diagrid separating them, yet, in this picture, we can see 10, and there must be at least two more to get to ground level. Also, the mech louvres are, in each case, the two levels above the horizontal diagrid, not the one floor above, and the one floor below. Then, those louvres should be by the 3rd and 6th horizontal from the top, not the 4th and 7th like you have drawn here. On the loking west picture, you have straight vertical pieces of diagrid drawn, when there will not be any.

Maybe I'm just being picky.

Anyway, it still looks awesome. Very good.
