I would hope so! If we don't see pictures before the event starts I'm going to be disappointed in the forumers in the know

Was not expecting the design to turn out the way it did. It's very cool.

Chadillaccc · #**185** Posted **Aug 29, 2014, 1:17 PM**

I'm worried that my expectations might be too high for it and that I'll be a bit disappointed. I really hope not.

Chad, I'm pretty confident that you will like what you see.

For those of us still in the dark about the design of the library Druh Farrell is still sending out clues.

The clue she is hinting at is Polygon

I am a patient person but the anticipation is killing me!

Yup, polygon: http://www.polygonbikes.com/ww/bikes/urban-bikes/city-bike

So, white, 3-walled, nanoparticle-y, polygonal... google searches (perhaps Druh's metaphor for digital-era technology and connectivity)... these aren't really hints so much as adjectives. 2 more sleeps and we can all see the real thing.

I'm sticking with my glacial crevice theory.

The nanoparticle hint was "multi-faceted" so its a white, 3-walled, multi-faceted, teardrop shaped polygon with an elevated outdoor plaza that forms its main entrance

Interestingly the picture she tweeted isn't the bike mentioned in the words...picture is the Zenith Active, the text mentions the Zenith Town.

Not sure if I'll be able to make it now as I work till 7 on Thursday.

Calgarian · #**194** Posted **Sep 2, 2014, 8:49 PM**

Very much looking forward to seeing the design Thursday, should be a game changer for our fair city.

MasterG · #**195** Posted **Sep 2, 2014, 10:04 PM**

I kind of feel like dressing up on Thursday, a Fancy Library unveiling and hobnobbing it with the political and architectural class of the city sounds like a good excuse to pull off a fancy black-tie outfit

DizzyEdge · #**196** Posted **Sep 2, 2014, 10:17 PM**

Geeze only 48 hours away, shouldn't someone be creating a dummy account and posting a leaked rendering?

Or do we have to pretty much wait with the rest of the plebs.

Is it bad that I am way more interested in this being leaked than the recent celeb phone hacking?

RyLucky · #**198** Posted **Sep 2, 2014, 10:50 PM**

Fine. I'll leak it. Allow me to present to you the new $240 M Calgary Central Library!

I like the cladding but the roofing materials look cheap. For that kind of money it should be more of a statement piece, another disappointment by the city.

Trans Canada · #**200** Posted **Sep 2, 2014, 11:03 PM**

Seems like a lot of forumers are going... anyone want to meet up afterwards and debrief?
