it is a futuristic design,
all
photographs by Tom Harris, it is the BMO Centre at Stampede Park and
is the largest convention centre in western Canada with an occupancy of 33,000,
the
building was a collaboration between global design studios Populous and Stantec; and Canadian studio S2 Architecture, the 565,000-square-foot
(52,490 square metres) expansion brings the convention centre to 1 million
square feet (92,900 square metres),
as
well as the building a public plaza can be used year-round with a pavilion
gathering space, retail options, and a café, it features a 70-foot-tall (21
metres) steel sculpture by artist Gerry
Judah. Called Spirit of Water, the sculpture has 200 vertical
steel tubes and is the centrepiece of Stampede Park's 14-piece public art
collection,
the
team hopes the expansion will usher in a new generation of convention centre
facilities that celebrate and connect with the surrounding landscape and
community, well I have to say it certainly looks more than impressive!
