Oh and you know your old when you remember the "husky tower" was the tallest building in Calgary. Maybe they should stop calling it a "tower" all together.

I quite like it (The Bow). I agree it does look out of place amongst the 70's towers, which are all function and no form, but when your downtown and you see a lot of the newer buildings it does fit in. Some of the angles of downtown are more flattering than others.
The big thing though is that, any new buildings going up are going to continue to be more modern. Telus Sky being an obvious example. So as downtown ages, The Bow will look more and more 'in place'.
The alternative being, make everything look like the tiny windowed concrete ugliness from the 70's. It'd all match... but BLECH!
