2. You can thank the Encana and its Bow for this level of design. It set the standard for quality in signature architecture for the city, and if anyone now wants to impress they have to really step it up too. Calling up Gibbs Gage to fart out a tower is no longer enough if you want to be considered amongst the big boys.

That's always been the hope of architects; that a few great buildings might force all the GGs and Stantec's of the City to actually design things half decent instead of the bland work they currently do.
Super impressed that BIG is doing something in Calgary! now if a OMA, Zaha, Herzog or Zumthor get picked for the central library, i would be ecstatic!
