I haven't seen the new SAIT parkade in person, but from the photos I see, I'm impressed. I tend to like to reserve judgement until seeing it in person, however, as photos can be deceptive.

I don't like the cloud features on the parkade... looks to cheezy. I would have just set the aluminum paneling in such a way that reflects light and shape in a more natural form. IMO, this would have made the structure seem more 'classy', if you will.

That's about my only greivance with the structure. Aside from that, the soccer field on top, and the respect for viewpoints it attempts, appears to have some solid architectural thought behind it.
