I just thought maybe someone at a pawn shop or salvage place might see it, or if they just throw it away whoever finds it might know what it is. I’m pretty sure if I tweeted it media would pick it up.

Your choice though if you think it’s best not to.

Sure…

They can reach out to us as well…

We have reached out to www.Artcast.com in Georgetown Ontario this afternoon. Just came back from their foundry. We will probably take a laser image to reproduce the elements and recast in Bronze. It’s a very intricate, time consuming and expensive project. It just has to be done though. If I could figure out how to post images I would.

We will not let darkness prevail! Will keep everyone posted.

^ Bravo.

3D scans of one-off architectural elements is a pretty great idea in general. High-fidelity 3D scanning has gotten [relatively] affordable and portable recently.

Doesn't really matter how intricate the product is. The 3D image can be printed directly into casting wax by some models of 3D printers. I know the Stratasys brand printer from Minnesota does this very well.

I haven't been to North Forge since I did a tour there in 2013, when it still had the dreadful name of AssentWorks[*]. That place is an absolute gem, and is completely underappreciated by your average Winnipeg citizen. I only wish they had day or week passes in addition to the monthly membership.

[*] Yes, AssentWorks, not AscentWorks. To me, the latter has makes way more sense - like growing or ascending business ideea. My pet hypothesis is it was a design-by-committee name, and no one noticed they typoed themselves into a homonym until it was too late. Whatever its origin, North Forge is clearly the superior name and branding.

^Thanks for the pic. Soho flats turned out just like the rendering. Even tho I don't find it particularly attractive, I can appreciate that some effort was put in to give some design flare to what is essentially just a box with balconies. The gradation in tone, subtle red accents, and row of bushes out front give the streetscape some visual interest.

That north part of the exchange is slowly filling in which is pretty cool considering that Logan isn't exactly a desirable street to be near and everything north is pretty industrial. I do hope that the market lands development just south of this enforces a higher quality of design standard tho.

[esquire]

Surprisingly little CPTED built into the design. I'd honestly expect something around there to be a little more fortress-like.
