Some discussion reg: this proposed development in the Assiniboine Park thread. It is a major addition to the Park and City, Hence a thread that may be of interest to some.

that looks absolutely beautiful
|
Looks awesome.
However I fear that when built will be a stucco and stone building with a skylight on the roof. |

All the site services and foundation tenders have closed. They will need a specialist for the exterior facade EFTE (Ethylene tetrafluoroethylene) cable structure. <----that's a mouthful.
|
The building has quite a large footprint. Piling is coming along nicely.

The name and idea are corny as hell but it looks like it will be quite spectacular. Smacks of hollow symbolism but the indigenous segment is the only bit of indigenous place-making I know of that is in a rich part of the city, which I think is pretty neat.

Amd let's not forget when the Feds are done jerking each other off. The Kapyong barricks will be native lands. Right in the middle of tuxedo. |
Lip service isn't place making. Colonizers using the same names for things as the colonized doesn't make everything square. What are you so mad about, anyway? This doesn't put you out at all.

Well, I'm annoyed at the constant gaming of lip service.
Either do something meaningful for each other or start saving me some money. It will be nice in the end, though. |
I find there's a ton of hypocrisy surrounding the Assiniboine Park upgrades. If the City did nothing, people would be slamming them. Now they're doing something, and people are slamming them. So what is it?

I wonder if there's anyone left that thinks negatively of Esplanade Riel. It's by far the most iconic piece of infrastructure in the city, and recognizable as Winnipeg immediately, all over the country. And it's very functional. |
In my opinion, this new conservatory will be one of the highlights of the city. Perhaps not for the 18-20 year old crowd coming north from Grand Forks. But for a large percentage of adults, this will be a huge hit. The fact that it is nestled into one of the finest in-city gems in North America just makes it that much better. This project is wildly underrated. I cannot speak for every visitor, but in my family and friend group, this would be every bit as important of a must-see as the CMHR when coming to town.
I mean, the Muttart Conservatory is a huge draw in Edmonton and this complex seems to make the Muttart look humble in comparison. |

So the Kapyong Barracks is actually original CoW. Polo is in St. James. Assiniboine Park to me is Tuxedo. Inner Beltway I think is better on Kenaston than Moray.. That kind of thang. |
