The building is currently the tallest office tower in Calgary, and tallest in Canada outside Toronto. The Bow is also considered the start of redevelopment in Calgary's Downtown East Village. It was completed in 2012 and was ranked among the top 10 architectural projects of 2012 according to Azure Magazine.

Yes, The Bow and the sculpture 'Wonderland' in front of it are the marvels of our city. Thanks for featuring these amazing photos on your blog. ;)
ReplyDeleteI do like the sculpture of the head. My first thought is how on earth would you make something like that.
ReplyDeleteI love the shape of the building. It reminds me a little of the 'Gherkin' in London.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about the entrance though...is the building home to a Native American company or on land of significant cultural heritage?
What great photos...love the Teepee and that head.
ReplyDeleteWow....THANKS for sharing.
