I can't promise that this is a comprehensive update as there is too much going on to be complete. Most of these pics have been scattered through various threads on ssp, but I thought I would group the best of them together. They are all from November and December 2007

Hey thanks for having a look. There are only 2 cranes in this pic as I was too close to get all 3. I posted some Waterfront pics in the Calgary construction thread on Thursday and the 3 cranes are visible in some of those shots.

o ok well i was basing my coment of what you had said in the caption to that pic in the construction thread lol

[Bigtime]

A great compilation of shots LFTC! Thanks for all your great work capturing all these projects! :tup:

[freeweed]

I didn't even know the south hospital was under construction yet! Stupid city changes too damn fast even for those of us who religiously read these forums. :D

And that "old Telus building" that Scotia McLeod is in now - that might possibly be my favourite old building in Calgary.

Nice overview of Calgary, winter 2007. :tup:

[cityguy]

Thanks for the update,I find it too hard to follow construction on the Calgary page,too much chatter,page and pages of idle talk.

[The Kid]

Nice work LFTC. Thanks.

[Kevin_foster]

Awesome! Very Jealous!

[You Need A Thneed]

I wouldn't say that the Lougheed Building had a MAJOR fire.

But very nice pictures!

[Coldrsx]

a guy i know who owns a masonry company said the $ volume in cal vs edm is 5 to 1.

[Thinner6]

Great pics. I can't wait to see how great the city looks once a lot of this construction wraps up and the new buildings, communities, in fills, and trees being to mature and become part of the city.

[Xelebes]

Ugh - The Alberta Children's Hospital is one of the ugliest buildings in Alberta. The CDC is even a lot better than that building. Just gross.

[CorporateWhore]

Ugh - The Alberta Children's Hospital is one of the ugliest buildings in Alberta. The CDC is even a lot better than that building. Just gross.

Personally, I think both are some of the nicest buildings Calgary has built in a long time. Then again, most people in this province prefer a brown stucco shitbox, so what do i know.

This is a stunning shot. Outstanding work Living!

Folks, just wait until finished version of the Bow is in a shot like this. :slob:

[Western Spaghetti]

I agree they are both cool buildings, especially the CDC building.

[ScottFromCalgary]

I believe ACH won the Calgary Urban Initiative's inaugral architecture award (or whatever its called) that was voted on by the public.

Outstanding photos Living. Truly outstanding.

I'm going to admit that the second didn't load for me the first couple times. The first shot of it looks atrocious. The second photo doesn't look so bad.

[Jimby]

I'm going to admit that the second didn't load for me the first couple times. The first shot of it looks atrocious. The second photo doesn't look so bad.

I just added the second picture of ACH tonight because I didn't think the first picture showed what the hospital really looks like. It looks like the building put too much red lipstick on around the windows! Overall, I think it is a really fun bright addition to Alberta architecture.
Thanks for having another look!

[youngregina]

I love the childrens hospital. And alot of people are forgetting that that specific hospital is suppossed to be a child friendly environment. It's supposed to look non-threatening inthe eyes of a child, which by the way i think it has accomplished quite nicely.

[Mid1]

Does anyone know why they only tore down half of the Col. Belcher hospital and left the other half standing? They should of just tore down the entire complex and rebuilt everthing new.

[mersar]

The other half will also be getting torn down eventually from my understanding.

[Bokimon]

Nice work! For that telus building it seems like for years they have had those XMas lights on. I remember seeing those as a kid.
Southland looks quite good.

[KrisYYC]

Great shots. It must have taken you a fair bit of time especially with the long exposure night shots (which are awesome).

Keep it up!

Kris

[jeffwhit]

The other half will also be getting torn down eventually from my understanding.

The western half of the Belcher was going to become a pair of residential towers, at least that was the plan a few years ago.

This building does not looks so hot from this angle. The facade is overwhelmed with too much blank stone (I'm guessing that's what it is). If they used about 3/4 less I think it would have looked much better.

This building does not look so hot from this angle. It would look much better if they used about 3/4 less of the stone on the facade.

the facade is going to be red brick when they take the plastic wrap off.

Do you mean the court house? It was designed post 9/11 and is built to withstand the impact of a 747 hitting it, so they used massive amounts of concrete.

Wow 9/11 really f*cked things up for everybody> Is Calgary seriously that concerned with getting hit by a 747?

Saudi Arabia is prety jealous of the oil in Alberta...

What? What does Saudi Arabia have to do with this photo thread?
Saudi Arabia doesn't even know Alberta or Canada exists, but if they did know about us, they wouldn't be jealous of our oil but of our democracy, human rights, freedom of religion, and high level of civilization. I know it is wrong of us to be so liberal, but we do let our women drive and vote.
So what you are really saying is that a certain kid in Aylmer is jealous of Alberta's recent success.
I hope you liked my photos even if you don't like us!

[Aylmer]

I was joking...
Merry Christmas

Thanks Surreal, and thanks for telling me about SSP so I could start posting pics here! You probably don't remember me, but last spring you ran into me at the Vic Park school as we were both taking pictures of arriva and you told me then about SSP.com. I lurked for a few months before figuring out how to post pictures.
I hope you had a good Christmas and happy skyscraper snapping in 2008!

Living for the city...

Thanks for the photos. I will have to send the one of Peter Lougheed Centre to our project team back in Toronto. It will make for a nice Holiday + New Year E-card.

Cheers.

The architect!

I'm not the architect. I'm an intern working as site contract admin for the local firm working on the project.

I'm not being sarcastic but I envy your profession...:( :( :(

[AUM]

Thanks for the reply. I've run into many forumers who tend to be sarcastic so in lieu of your comment I retract my previous commets. Cheers.

[tdurden5573]

In the spirit of the season I am happy to agree 100% with CW on this one.

Couldnt agree more, about time Albertans step out of their bland colour schemes.

It reminds me of HUNDERTWASSER the Austrian architect who uses off square angles and funky materials and colors - check some of his work out on google, not for everyone but neat (or at least different).

Lol! I do remeber. I'm glad to see that you signed on Living, your pictures have been a real gift to the group. :tup:

2008 is going to be a great year for snapping shots. There is so much going on, it'll be hard to keep up.

[tdurden5573]

Here are some pics downtown from different angles. Im sorry for the poor quality, the windows were dirty and the sun was at a bad angle. The courts shot doesnt do it justice, but when you look down the alley at it, its amazing since the 2 sections are connected by an open glass canopy:

I have been to Vienna and seen his buildings, they are great in a quirky way. His municipal recycling centre in Vienna is like the Calgary Tower on acid. His subsidized housing complex in Vienna is well worth seeing (only on the outside as real people live there).

:previous: I thought I was just looking at pictures of Euro Disney or something! I had no idea there was something like that in Vienna, I have to travel more of Europe one of these days. Very cool stuff!

I think Calgary could learn from Vienna.

I lived in Vienna for a year while going to school, they were once the epicenter of European architecture during the Baroque era, so its amazing how they accept such radical designs and buildings to co-exist with old classical designs.

I love the tower, although its called a recycling center, the main purpose is to incinerate garbage, you dont ever see smoke come out the top though.

4th dimension, very cool...I see a black hole or some kind of worm hole (Sliders) in the bottom right corner.

Hundertwasser, not something you see everyday...not here anyways.

the worm hole would be an entrance into the building courtyard...

Can't see that in Calgary...
