Reimagining Ottawa’s architecture
I was thinking that it might be fun to create a thread were we share buildings and other architectural structures around the world that we really like, and think might be a great addition to the city. It can be of any style and from any time period - it could even be buildings Ottawa used to have or currently has. It doesn't have to be a specific building, but even a certain architectural feature.
Provide whatever information you think might be useful, and where you think it would look great. |

Would look great on the corner of Rideau and Nicholas. But in all seriousness, can anyone tell me how to post pictures. I tried the post picture button a few times but it doesn't work. |

If you go to that Panoramio page, (http://www.panoramio.com/photo_explo...sc&user=383862), there is a button that says "View the original image". Click on that and it will call up the image itself. Copy the address of the image (http://static.panoramio.com/photos/original/1846959.jpg) and you will get this: http://static.panoramio.com/photos/original/1846959.jpg |

defishel, I've seen the first one many times (it's even in GTA IV). It is a fine example of preserving history while adding significant density. Toronto has a lot of such projects as well. The second one I've never seen before, I like it a lot. Where is it? |

The one in Japan is sharp, but I'm referring to this one. Where is it?

Came across a residence by Studio Gang designed for the University of Chicago on Archinect yesterday. Ottawa could use a couple buildings like this, namely at Ottawa U as a residence (over by Lees), or as an Office building at Tunney's.

And to comment on citydwlr pictures; I find that these buildings sort of already look like Tunney's or even uOttawa type architecture, only more fluid. The first building kind of reminds me of the DND HQ. |

I dig that Beijing Hotel that @Defishel posted. Very nice! Who designed that one? |

http://www.designboom.com/architectu...ng-completion/ They also designed the Absolute Towers (aka Maryland Munroe towers) in Mississauga. For some reason, I can't find the Conrad Hotel on their site. http://www.i-mad.com/#works_details?wtid=2&id=29 |
