Calgary Future Skyline Renderings - Page 23

That looks freaking AWESOME. Looks like it could easily be the downtown core for a 5-6 million metro. The best part is, a lot of it - including the biggest single building - is currently under construction!

Very impressive Devin! A very accurate representation of the Bow. aside from the East Village, most of it is what we'll see in just the next couple of years.

I've put in every possible development that will likely happen within the next 20 years. Of course, some buildings are stand-ins, but it gives a fairly accurate view of what can be expected.

Thanks to Wooster for double checking for me. Boris2k7 is MIA!

Wow, thanks everyone! The nice comments are much appreciated.

There are some things I could add to the rendering, and new developments will keep coming out. I always say I'll update the renderings, but I'll probably just wait and do another one from another angle, only better!

Caltrane I agree, the Bow completely dominates the skyline, especially from this angle.

I would love to attempt an Edmonton rendering for my brothers to the north, I just don't know where everything goes. Perhaps if I had a diagram or map.

Thanks Bo! I'm sending you the high res, and you can see Imperial is in there, as well as a few developments you probably can't see with this terribly low res image.

Edit: Wow, almost 50,000 views!! I probably account for 45,000 of those, but still that's awesome!

Great work! Luv these...

Quick question: What is this project? Can't find anything else on it...

Maybe I'm just being nitpicky - as the Bow in this Picture looks great - but the Bow isn't accurate in that there are 12 "sections" of floors between the horizontals in the diagrid shown. There will be only 10 - with six floors in each section. The top section has two double high mechanical floors, so only 4 floors in that section, and the bottom section has only 5 floors, as the ground floor and the mezzanine floor together take up the spaace of 3 floors.

This brings the total number of floors to the 57 total. (I know the press releases and the info on this site say 58 - but perhaps they don't count the 13th floor or something - there are only 57)

Killer work man!! This trumps all of the past one! Solid work as usual!

Truly inspirational

Excellence as usual C-A-D. Please keep them coming - I love studying these renderings, exciting indeed.

For the new Flames arena did you steal an existing structure or come up with your own ?

its the rumored "organic" building

The arena is based on the Sprint Centre in Kansas City. Something modern, and fairly simple.

YNAT: Correct, the Bow isn't 100% accurate, but neither is any other building in the rendering. It would take simply to long to get every building exactly how it's supposed to look. It does give me something to strive for for the next doodle however.

I'm starting to work on an Edmonton rendering, which I'll post in the Edmonton thread when I'm finished with it.

So that would take you like what, 20 minutes?

Zing!

CtrlAltDel · #**453** Posted **Feb 25, 2009, 5:30 PM**

Well since I'm not as familiar with the Edmonton projects, it could take me 40.

CAD has officially taken on the dark side! LOL

or roughly 1/3 the amount of time to redo the skyline with multiple holes/capped parking lots in calgary

Bigtime · #**456** Posted **Feb 25, 2009, 6:52 PM**

If you really want to go nuts with the Edmonton rendering you should have a version showing the Muni airport still open, and one with urban infill if they closed it down to redevelopment!

Touche, nicely done.

But seriously we aren't that bad for holes in the ground right now!

Oh we've been taunted just as much with seeing all the developments that are not going ahead anytime soon in that latest rendering from CAD. Suffer with us!
