The solar chimney on the Hydro building is another example of that & the Asper research centre at St.B hospital. <br /><br />I'll probably still go ahead and do it at some point. Thanks for pointing out one or two that I wasn't aware of. Hope you had a Merry Christmas!cherenkovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15355986781478585611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716407892466377250.post-21859426296657375562011-12-24T20:14:27.347-06:002011-12-24T20:14:27.347-06:00Let's think of them as companion pieces, then ...Let's think of them as companion pieces, then !

They'll redo it in a boring, neutral style not wanting to be design forward and risk having to change it again in 10 years.<br /><br />Passed BG BX today and stopped to take another look. I do like the green panels, though the rec cenre's a bit too big a building to pull that off !Christian Cassidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17691310860448400887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716407892466377250.post-67241882189084356972011-12-24T11:11:21.007-06:002011-12-24T11:11:21.007-06:00(And oh yes, Merry Christmas!)(And oh yes, Merry Christmas!)One Man Committeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10586227505412268204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716407892466377250.post-44051004372419409272011-12-24T11:11:03.726-06:002011-12-24T11:11:03.726-06:00I really like the bold green graphics of BGBX.

It will be interesting to see how long it lasts before the owners feel the urge to update the look... there seems to be a "design curve" where something current looks dated in about 10 years and horribly out of date in about 25 years before it starts to become retro-chic again. That curve is even more pronounced for really bold designs like BGBX.<br /><br />The U of W's Centennial Hall is a good example of a building where if they had held on to the interior design a few years longer it would have looked cutting edge again, but they gave in just a little too early.One Man Committeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10586227505412268204noreply@blogger.com
