Ottawa-Gatineau from above rue Laurier and Parc Jacques-Cartier, looking north-west (towards Gatineau Park), west (towards the Canadian Museum of History and LeBreton Flats), south (towards Ottawa CBD) and south-east (Ottawa CBD and ByWard Market).

Blinding sunlight does wonders. Standing seam zinc panels. Very grey. Very bland.

I'm no architect but the difference in these photos tell me all it would take to make this library look infinitely better would be to switch to a different type/color of paneling...

that new library is so effing ugly!!!

this is all I see

Coldrsx · #**16991** Posted **May 4, 2021, 2:27 PM**

But it is a very nice person; great personality.

MolsonExport · #**16992** Posted **May 4, 2021, 2:51 PM**

Lots of fresh height happening in Gatineau.

Some of our stumpy ugly squat CBD skyline here in Ottawa today.

Great shots of Edmonton but my god that library is atrocious!

Chadillaccc · #**16998** Posted **May 5, 2021, 3:44 AM**

It’s too bad that Churchill Square (a beautiful and well done plaza) is surrounded on the south and west by hideousness. At least the art gallery is nice, and city hall is an amazing example of PoMo.

^^^ It looks better from far away because you don't see the ugly standing seam. The building itself would have looked much better if they had changed the style of metal cladding.
