Exploring Edmonton: Dent/Pharm Construction Site - The Gateway

Now you can enjoy seeing the dent/pharm intricate asbestos walls, porous windows that seep the heat out and contribute to killing our atmosphere, not-to-code electrical systems, ancient heating system, and quaint lead pipes — truly all remnants of a bygone era.

WOW.....simple, elegant and perfect complement to a historic marvel in this city.

Maybe I'm a weirdo, but I'm really not a fan of the trend of sticking these very contemporary-styled additions onto non-contemporary buildings. That said, this is definitely an example of one of the better ways to do it.

 

[Hqcan]

I think the intent here is simplicity in design of the modern addition. Not trying to have its own "impact" but just elegantly highlight and embolden the contemporary structure

I think the majority of the time it looks good, but yet I agree it can turn out bad as well.
