Not sure I follow the greenery half-way up. It looks more like a reflection than space designed to support greenery of that magnitude and composition.

Green-washing of another kind?

Hallsy's Toupee · #**7587** Posted **Apr 21, 2015, 4:51 PM**

Don't really like all the black jigsaw lines. Also, is just me or does it look thicker on top than the bottom?

Kevin_foster · #**7588** Posted **Apr 21, 2015, 5:13 PM**

Bad rendering - the whole building looks tapered

GreenSPACE · #**7589** Posted **Apr 21, 2015, 5:24 PM**

^I think that's the photo of the rendering, not the rendering itself.

Looks interesting if this design goes ahead.

HomeInMyShoes · #**7590** Posted **Apr 21, 2015, 5:31 PM**

^I think it's a little of both. I hate renderings that do that. I draw things like that when I want them to look cartoony on the sidewalk. Not for real life sorry.

Other than that, It's visually interesting, but I'm really on the fence. A better rendering would help me, but it seems a bit awkward.

Daveography · #**7591** Posted **Apr 21, 2015, 6:13 PM**

CNIB looks really nice. Retail in the podium I hope?

I'm a bit on the fence also. The motif is already growing old in other cities. This design is derivative from that perspective.

Yes please to CNIB.

CAT at NAIT is massive. Spent the morning critiquing their Environmental Design class final projects, so much fun, very impressed!

Where is this CNIB location?

CMD UW · #**7595** Posted **Apr 21, 2015, 7:59 PM**

^NW corner of 120 Street and Jasper. CNIB = sweetness.

CanadianCentaur · #**7596** Posted **Apr 21, 2015, 8:41 PM**

That CNIB rendering's not bad at all, IMO. At first, I wasn't sure what to think, but now it's grown on me.

I counted, and looks like it's about 36-37 stories. That could make it about roughly the same height as the Pearl. Interesting.

Together they would make the Gates of Jasperave. Awesome.

Someone should photoshop that into the faces of Gretzky and McDavid

HomeInMyShoes · #**7599** Posted **Apr 21, 2015, 9:12 PM**

Or MacTavish and Lowe. "Thou shalt not enter the playoffs!"

I need to stop with the tweedledee and tweedledum jokes, but they deserve them so much.

s4.audios · #**7600** Posted **Apr 21, 2015, 9:24 PM**

Thanks CMD, so much has happened and happening at the end of Jasper West. A few more developments like this and Edmonton will have its own downtown AND uptown.
