Architectural terminology lesson featuring the Rossdale Power Plant! The Low Pressure Plant building features a stripped classicism/Art Deco transitional style so terms developed to describe buildings of classical antiquity work on this 1932-1955 Edmonton structure. #yegheritage

Since buying their home last fall, @feisty_waters & @woodwarddotCA have wanted to give it a vibrant & memorable facelift. For them, the colours of Borden Park’s Vaulted Willow by Marc Fornes & @THEVERYMANY fit the bill. Read our conversation with Jen: yegarts.tumblr.com/post/6952…

On City Hall’s 30th anniversary, a factoid you might not know: the great steps in the City Room, bracketed by the white columns, were inspired by the Stockholm City Hall.
Happy 30th anniversary City Hall! Since opening on Aug 28, 1992 this award-winning building has been one of Yeg's most iconic landmarks, the home of our civic leadership & a much-loved gathering place for the community. Take a virtual tour: edmonton.ca/CityHallVirtualT… #VibrantYegDT

The home of City of Edmonton architect Carol Belanger separates itself from most of the other new builds in Glenora. It's got what a lot of other replacement homes lack — personality. #design #yeg edifyedmonton.com/style/home…

Gritty parking lots aren’t pretty… but a big, green park is! We’re swapping the grit for grass and building Warehouse Park in downtown #yeg. Take a look at the concepts and share your feedback using the survey: edmonton.ca/WarehousePark. #VibrantYegDT
