I prefer the Jenga Tower to the First Baptist Church Tower. Also what's up with the podium for First Baptist Church?

I was out in Vancouver and managed to attend the open house, the podium is still being refined. Architect told me it was possible it become part of the art contribution, which could mean some cool changes to come.

Someone pointed out, I can't remember who, that the podiums have very tall floors, possibly office. That might explain part of the extra height...

Just hope it turns out like the rendering. I'm not particularly fond of the one tower that looks like two point towers concept. I think it will look even worse in 3D.

Cool, I do like the tower, it's not my kind of style at all but I appreciate it for what it is. The Jenga Tower will be my favorite building in Vancouver. One that would look good in any city.

Cool, thanks!!!

This thread should be a sticky, no?

caltrane74 · #**112** Posted **Apr 10, 2016, 9:47 PM**

A sticky in the Ontario/Toronto section? Lol..

Gresto · #**113** Posted **Apr 11, 2016, 1:51 AM**

Wait, unless I'm out of my gourd, which I'm not, we're in the Canada forum.

koops65 · #**114** Posted **Apr 11, 2016, 2:18 AM**

This is most definitely an all of Canada thread...

Right up near the top of the list (top 17) are Toronto, Quebec City, Calgary and Edmonton.

If we limit ourselves to Built and U/C, in the top 19 are Toronto, Edmonton and Calgary.
