You can watch full episodes of the first season online here. New episodes to air Tuesdays at 10pm ET/PT.

Stay tuned for the second season — we’ll announce when the webisode is available!

To celebrate the final roof pour, Monarch Group hosted a delicious lunch-time get-together for all those who had participated in the construction of Picasso on Richmond. We braved soaring heights and a rickety ladder to meet the magnificent 40-storey high city view and have pictures to share! Exciting things are underway on Richmond Street and we are proud to be a part of that transformation.

These photos capture the beginnings of the cantilever for the Langara College Science and Student Services Building. Though only a five-storey building, because of the 16 metre cantilever, some of these steel columns have loads equivalent to a 25-storey tower! The camber will flatten when the floor weight is added.

The new Clareview Community Recreation Centre and Branch Library opens its doors to the public yesterday. Click here to take a virtual tour of the building with our Edmonton partner, Brian Bengert from Architecture Tkalcic Bengert, featured in CBC News.

On Saturday August 9^th, 650 bikes joined the Aykroyd Family Ride to the Philp J. Currie Dinosaur Museum for the official ribbon-cutting ceremony. In the evening, the museum hosted the black-tie Amber Ball, the weekend’s pinnacle event. The evening program included a five-course meal prepared by Grande Prairie’s most accomplished chef, a performance by The Tenors, ‘The Blues Brothers’ (featuring Dan Akroyd and musical guest), the Grande Prairie Boys Choir, and several other Juno award-winning musicians.

Highlights from the evening can be found here.

Stephen Teeple and Martin Baron both take swings at the former building as Boulevard Club Expansion breaks ground today.

Here’s some latest site photos of the Philp J. Currie Dinosaur Museum in Wembley, Alberta. Watch the bones being covered with some skin!

Conceived of in close collaboration between Teeple Architects and the Structural Engineers, Fast + Epp, the pine beetle wood skeleton is joined by custom-designed and CNC-milled Douglas fir nodes. These laminated confluence points were modeled precisely in 3D software so that the internal tensile steel hardware could be inserted during their fabrication in Structure Craft’s warehouse. Transported to site and joined in situ, the combination of local wood species creates an evocative spatial expression reminiscent of a primordial skeleton.

The public opening of Artscape Youngplace was a big success. Thanks to everyone who came out to show support! We were very pleased to see the building up and running.

Remember to save your blue wristbands for a complimentary hot beverage at the Youngplace café for your next visit!

We’ve teamed up with Fast + Epp to invent a creative and innovative process for custom-designed wood structural nodes for the Philip J. Currie Dinosaur Museum in Wembley, Alberta.

We modeled the structural nodes in Rhino and passed it on to our structural engineer, who modeled the necessary hardware in place before each piece was cut. Our friends at Structure Craft have been doing a fantastic job pre-fabricating the nodes in their warehouse and will deliver them to be installed on site.

Production is on schedule for the opening next year and we are extremely excited to share the results as they come!
