Just another one in full context.

New tallest rising in Calgary

I'm a fan of Brookfield...the quality of the glass, the subtlety of the curves, and a (hopefully) nicely executed crown makes this one a really elegant tower. It's never going to be a postcard building, but I's turned out better than I was expecting.

I also think saying that the Bow is just another Toronto City hall is a very narrow (and honestly, kind of ignorant) view of architecture. The Bow might be a continuation of a lot of other Foster designers, but not every building that shares a basic shape is the same. The buildings are from completely different eras, styles, and philosophies.
