Ottawa Ādisōke - Ottawa Public Library and Library and Archives Canada Joint Facility | ?m | 5s | City of Ottawa | Diamond Schmitt

This building is going to be an actual landmark. It is outstanding. I love it.

Lebreton Flats, as it is with all the proposed plans and buildings going up, is going to look absolutely stunning. Like top tier city amazing. Take it in, we have 400 Albert peaking out of the CBD, Gatineau's skyline facing ahead, the Dream towers, Adisoke, the Sens area (if it actually looks how the renders looked like, it will be an amazing addition), and 900 Albert (if it actually gets built at this point lol). This doesn't count all the other different lots we know nothing about.

It is literally going to change how our city is viewed. Amazing, absolutely amazing when you think about it.
I would add the incredible long river skyline that is forming to the West, it will be a very unique look and a dramatic background for people visiting areas like Major's Hill Park and Kiweki Point. Throw in the eventual 45 story Claridge tower on the flats, the next buidlng at Zibi, We/3.... We really are five years away from being a city with a notable skyline finally.

I think this will slot in under Vancouver and Calgary architecturally, but there is no argument that this will be the most beautifully situated 'Super Library' in Canada.
Fully agree with you there. Considering how much criticism the site got when it was chosen, I can see Watson's vision now (if indeed this is what he had in mind).
