Cancelled Calgary old Project Renderings
Hey, I've been wondering if any people out there have any renderings of the old cancelled calgary projects back in the 80's? There's a lot of new people in the forum who would love to see the old drawings of FCII and the second Canterra tower...

Hi, I guess you are new enough here that you may have missed some of the so-called "end of thread" parties that we have every 2000 or so posts (though, honestly, a lot of regular forumers miss those as well). One of these parties contained a bunch of renderings.
I'll repost what I have: Alberta Plaza http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/9...plaza01xn6.jpg Bay Park Plaza http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/6...plazawtho6.gif Eaton Centre http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/8...ntertowcb6.jpg First Canadian Centre II http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/3...nadiancld1.jpg McIntyre Building http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/2...tyreul3tx9.gif ? http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/5...ntreyn0lh8.jpg Victoria Square http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/5...asquarelp2.jpg http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/5...asquarekx1.jpg ?

The rendering is looking West if you are a little disoriented... |
Thanks for those pics Boris, what a taller skyline we would have. But then again we wouldn't have this opportunity now to put architecturally superior buildings ie:The Bow, FCCII. My favourite one in the last grouping would have to be the Eaton Centre, a very imposing tower but classy. The TD tower that is there now is very nice and one of my favourites, but the original looked to be quite taller.
|
Alberta Plaza would have been damn impressive.
|
Is it me or doesn't the victoria park project look like the Exchange massing and very similar design cues as Keynote but with the same materials of Sun Life Plaza sitting in Stampede Stations spot, and the 2 tower project with the ? beside it Lausanne/Montreux anybody.
|
For those who have never seen the book "Calgary The Boom Years" I recommend going to the central library, 4th floor. It's in the Local History room. The Bow plans are also there, well worth the trip.
|
This stuff is better IMO than anything currently planned, with the exception of a couple of projects!
|
What's that twin tower job! My God that thing is awsome! They're all pretty good! Taller than anything proposed also.
|
I think that twin project was somethign along the lines of "park centre" or somethign like that. I really like it too tho. It was supposed to go whter TCPL is right now. That woudl have made for a couple of really tall ones (petro and this one) I also really liked the eaton centre design. Does anyone know if bay park plaza was supposed to be built directly on the bay building?

park place i think

Bay Park Plaza would have been north of the existing Bay. |
