interesting stuff. Is the city currently planning on doing something with this part of town or are you guys just having fun?
Hope you guys don't mind but I thought I'd post some images from a PDF of the West Donlands development in Toronto. It actually has some interesting similarities to the West End like the interchange/on-ramp, the river and the compact land area. This part of town is currently an industrial wasteland. Site prep has actually started on this development. Also a international design competition has been recently announced.
Anyway, here are the images. I think this plan is excellent and perhaps Calgary can do something similar...

building heights and massing
