Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau and Calgary Central Library

2023

“I am not an architect and so these two buildings may not completely align with the principles I listed above of what constitutes quality, but I love the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau as well as the new library in Calgary. They are both beautiful buildings that fit there geographic location and you feel a sense of awe and calm just walking into them. The natural light streams in and externally they are both stunning and memorable buildings.” (Booklet Positive Lived Experiences of Quality in the Built Environment 2023, p.40).
