I have been keeping regular track of the work around the National Arts Centre while the glass enclosure has been added onto the building, and you can find the last post here. This first shot dates to April 8th, when I was coming up to the National War Memorial near sundown to attend the Vimy Ridge Centennial evening vigil. I paused to photograph the NAC, since I rarely photograph it at dusk.
These I took a few days ago, first from the Mackenzie King Bridge looking north to the NAC and Parliament Hill. The others were taken from the north side, moving from Plaza Bridge down to near the Canal. While the glass panels are in place and most of the work is now happening inside, one glass panel has yet to be added on the west side, with wood screens in its place. This is likely for work crews, who may require equipment to be forklifted into the upper parts of the work site.
Looks like an impressive building!
ReplyDeleteVery huge and impressive. Looking to see more photos of this building. Have a happy day!

ReplyDeleteReminds me of a small glass panel truck I saw parked in front of one of our glass skyscrapers last week. Made me think, "Yeah, I bet that glass company keeps busy!" :-)
