SAIT Parkade by Bing Thom Architects
So this project seemed to be similar to what a lot of people in our studio were trying to do with the Harvard Square project: blend architecture into the landscape to downplay the statement it makes.
This project does this but is, as Projessor Ficca said, “not shy about being a building.”
“By siting the building carefully, we were able to preserve a critical landscape and visual relationship between the campus and downtown Calgary while respecting the historic heart of the SAIT Polytechnic campus,” said Bing Thom of BTA.
Here are the pictures, discuss away. Source link at the bottom.

The poles were a municipallity and zoning gone awry.
