i would go with the richard meier just because he has a record of making understated buildings look nice....his proposal looks like the types of projects he was doing in the late 70's early 80's.

i was pretty excited to see the results of this (as im sure most of you guys were)....i am sorry to say that im disappointed....this was an opportunity to make an icon for western canada.
I think Dialog is a rebranded Cohos. The archi-satanists behind Hall D, Science World expansion... et al.
