Peace Bridge
PEACE BRIDGE Calgary, Canada Inaugurated March 24, 2012 PEACE BRIDGE | 04.05.12 PAGE 2 of 2 SANTIAGO CALATRAVA ARCHITECTURAL STATEMENT I was honored to be asked by The City of Calgary to design a bridge of merit over the Bow River. The Design Brief for the project placed a number of key restrictions on my design that influenced my development of the tubular steel truss design. The geometrical constraints of the site for the bridge that had been selected by the City included the adjacent heliport (only 75m away) and the Bow River itself. The approach cone to the heliport (the path in which helicopters must fly) creates a “no go” zone above the bridge and the high water and ice levels of the Bow River create a similar restriction below. These constrictions come together to generate an envelope of only 7m in which to create the bridge. The City advised us that no piers would be accepted in the river bed, and as such the need for a clear span of 125m between banks (and out of the flood zone) was required. The small envelope of space coupled with the restriction of no intermediate supports drove me to look at a deep “box girder” design; discarding the more usual candidate structures for such a span (such as Arched or Cable stayed designs), which would have been simply too shallow to be viable. Indeed these restrictions led us to develop schemes for launching the bridge horizontally over the River without the need for even temporary piers in the river.

Calgary Alberta
Stay, Eat, Go: Calgary Alberta The Hyatt Regency Calgary is in the heart of downtown Calgary. Just steps away from the Calgary Tower, Stephen Avenue Walk, Studio Bell and the Glenbow Museum, the hotel offers an excellent central location for those looking to enjoy the local culture on foot. Hop on local transit to head to the Calgary Zoo, Fort Calgary or to take a craft brewery tour. I arrived at the hotel several hours prior to check-in time so my room was not quite ready. The desk clerk took my name and cell number, stored my luggage and gave me some suggestions of places I could visit in the area while I waited. Rather than wander too far on my first day, I visited the hotel restaurant for the buffet breakfast. After devouring fresh fruit and bacon from the buffet and a la carte eggs benedict I was sufficiently stuffed. My room was soon ready, and I was introduced to a comfortable room, a view of the city and a soft bed. During my stay at the Hyatt Regency Calgary, I took advantage of the Regency Room for the rest of my breakfasts and the occasional late- night snack or drink. The service in the Regency Room and throughout the hotel was STAY: impeccable. The desk clerk greeted me by name every time I passed through the hotel Hyatt Regency Calgary and the service staff in the Regency Room allowed me to grab a soft drink when I arrived 700 Centre Street SE, Calgary, AB shortly after they closed for the night.

The pool contributes to a vibrant neighbourhood." •: It's a shame that the overpaid city managers and counsel even consider closing Greg Trimming Markham down at facility that was originally given to the city land and all to manage!II" "Shutting down inner city pools goes against city's push for increased density with walkable rec facilities. Short sighted reactionary decision to a problem that should of Geoff Houston Calgary been addressed years ago."
