^thanks...i guess we need to wait a little longer to have it revealed...reason being i want to show how a streetlevel can be done right (hopefully) for Edmonton's convention centre expansion got a fucking wall of concrete fronting the street.

this fronts our main downtown street...blocking the river valley

Awesome update

definietely coming along, thx for the update!

it's almost as if we're trying to parallel Hong Kong, with a mass roof convention centre on the foot of our main harbour waterfront. it's going to be really impressive.

Haha, when did you take that. I was at the Convention Center around 12:30-1pm. I saw some dude in a red sweater taking photos of construction as well, could that have been you?

Nope, black pea coat and a backpack. You?

From the water it looks much more impressive than what we saw from the designs.

I don't know if this question has been answered before, but is the walkway between the old and the new convention centre going to be covered?

Cool! I would have expected that, but you never know. Sometimes these projects take odd shortcuts, like the lack of a covered walkway at Sapperton Station.

The glass looks great.

^It does look great. This is one building that I'm happy is clad in clear glass. Can you imagine if it were tinted? It would look like an office park on the sea. I can't wait to see it fully lit at night.
