Coldrsx · #**5767** Posted **Aug 1, 2013, 1:24 PM**

Associated engineering.

Yeah yeah, I know, we've seen this angle a thousand times, but this particular pic is beautiful, so there you go.

Deus Ex:Human Revolution also had a shot of a futuristic Montreal as well. Not coincidentally it was also developed by Ubisoft.

I also have this one from February 2006 where I guestimated what the Manitoba Hydro tower would look like.. I don't think I was too far off..

harls · #**5774** Posted **Aug 1, 2013, 10:07 PM**

ok, last winnipeg pic.. promise..

wow.. 118.9.. that was cheap.

roccerfeller · #**5775** Posted **Aug 1, 2013, 10:40 PM**

haha thanks harls!

very accurate placement of Hydro tower, you should do an updated "placement" picture with the new towers going up

Dwils01 · #**5776** Posted **Aug 1, 2013, 10:46 PM**

I never knew the MB Hydro Building had a triangular shape, I also thought it was a rectangular building.
Also it's sad to think that 118.9 is cheap now for gas, I know I think anything under 120 is cheap too, I miss the good old days when gas was under a dollar.

This was in Ottawa in December 2008 during a price war.. of course it skyrocketed a week later

Dwils01 · #**5778** Posted **Aug 1, 2013, 11:21 PM**

I remember that they lower the cost of gas at a shell once a year in North Bay and back in the early 2000's the price was 36.9/l for the day.

It's actually a pretty amazing building. It's almost like two buildings, connected at the top of the A section type thing, and the area between the two "buildings" is three 6-storey atriums that provide fresh air for the entire building using automated windows.

Here's a graphic about the features, quite amazing. The building has won several awards...

If you ever get a chance to see the city I would recommend a tour of the building. It really is an amazing building in many different ways.
