Crap. I just realized someone already posted my video in CP back on Sept. 30. Sorry for the redundancy guys.
Yes, the ska band, because I know one member.
I never thought it would work, but so far I haven't heard it didn't fit well.

^ The only turnoff about the Bow, IMO, is street interaction. There is no podium for street-level retail.

To me the look itself is a turn off,cross sections on tower look stupid and out of place when you look at the rest of downtown. To me it looks cheap compaired to say the bankers hall buildings.

Maybe it is, but I can guarantee the Bow will grab tourists attention more than Bankers Hall...not just because the Bow is newer.

I'm a little sad to see red square surpassed as the tallest building as I helped build it. Still The Bow is better looking from the pictures.

Out of place to the rest of Downtown is a good thing.

Yes, heaven forbid anything stand out and make a statement. The Bow classed this town up.

The exterior is a recycle of the Hearst Tower in New York City. Lazy in my opinion.

Which itself borrowed from earlier buildings like the Gherkin, which I'm sure borrowed from others before that.
Architecture is not fashion....you don't have to throw out something just because you did it last season.
Besides...the diagrid is not there just for show, it has a structural purpose.

As former Mayoral Candidate Alnoor Kassam would say "Calgary is on the Verge of becoming a Vorld Class City!"
