This 20-story building was developed to maximize the use of the sun to both light and heat the structure in the harsh Canadian
climate. This structure houses city offices, galleries and a multi-level civic garden in the form of a central atrium.

The outer skin of the structure consists of a tent-like, glass covering, which captures the sun and
provides an insulating layer to the “inner” building (responsible for concentrating the
previously dispersed civic functions under one roof). The atrium, insulated from the winter extremes,
is the focal point of the complex as well as the community of Edmonton. Major pedestrian circulation
routes connect this central
space to the surrounding streets.
