    German firm to design CBE headquarters in Addis Ababa Henn Architekten has won first prize in an architectural competition for the construction of the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia (CBE) headquarters in Addis Ababa. Once completed, the 42-storey tower will be the tallest building ever built in Ethiopia. The firm’s proposal includes, on the longer sides of the slender office tower, a gap in the facade which will reveal the city from a new perspective. The reduced reflection of the glass skin will permit a contrasting glimpse inside the building. This openness will continue to base level, where the entrance area will be revealed. The tower will be accompanied by a conference centre and a shopping mall. The buildings will be clustered around a sunken landscaped plaza. At the competition awards ceremony, CBE president, Ato Bekalu Zeleke, said: “The construction of the new headquarters building is a gesture of CBE's aspiration to become a world class bank.” A seven-person jury composed of Ethiopians and foreigners in the field selected the winning architectural design from 21 local and foreign contestants that submitted their work. The skyscraper, due to be built in five years' time, will bring CBE’s now-scattered organs under one roof.

    J'aimerais bien remplacer "assistés" par "sièges" dans le titre de ce fil.

    Quand tu deviens prospère, tu crées plus de prospérité. C'est une loi de la nature, ce qui se ressemble, s'assemble. Les pauvres deviennent plus pauvres, les riches plus riches, pourquoi vous pensez? Focusons sur nos poches de prospérité et elle deviendront de plus en plus grandes. Mon sermon du matin. :-)

    Je vois cette magnifique sculpture à l'entrée de la ville, dans le futur aménagement du boulevard Bonaventure. En plein centre, avec les voies du boulevard de chaque côté, sans tours à bureaux, une grande entrée magistrale. Quant aux monuments, nous en avons déjà, ils ne sont pas réellement mis en valeur. Le stade Olympique en est un. Je mettrais les ingénieurs (et les écoles polytechniques de Montréal) au défi de créer une toile rétractable, cette toile ferait vraiment du stade une création unique au monde, une attraction en soit. Puis, le dôme géodésique de Fuller, il faudrait en faire un magnifique pavillon illuminé le soir, et plus intéressant que le modeste musée de l'eau que l'on a en ce moment.

    Ou' se classe le plus célèbre monument de Montréal?
  6. LindbergMTL
    oui mais vers le haut ou vers le bas?

    Changer les plans et devis, ça prend combien de temps et ça coûte combien? Y-a-t-il un architecte dans la salle? Aussi, faudrait-il retourner à la ville pour obtenir de nouvelles autorisations au niveau de la densité et du zonage en hauteur?

    Je ne sais pas mais c'est ce genre de grande avenue pour entrer à Montréal que je préfère, au lieu de petits gratte ciels qui bloquent toute la vue sur Université et le Mont-Royal. On ne devrait pas foutre des buildings en plein milieu de cette avenue qui pourrait être tellement majestueuse. Des buildings, j'en veux, et il y a de la place en masse partout pour les construire.

    Y a rien d'annoncé du côté de Monit. La porte est ouverte du côté de la ville. Il y a une chance qu'ils devancent l'échéancier pour prendre le marché avant que le Ritz le fasse.

    Il y a une embellie sur l'économie. Un architecte qui travaille sur un énorme projet à Dubai m'a dit que les soit-disant problèmes là bas sont orchestrés par certains groupes pour faciliter le rachat de propriétés à bas prix... Bref, il y a les éternels optimistes qui vont toujours de l'avant. Je souhaite que Monit en soit.

    " The project is part of a building spree in the local hotel business, with the opening of six other major hotels planned by next year, most of them downtown." Vous savez de quels autrs hotels il s agit?

    Pour moi, ils vont se décider quand les autos seront volantes!

    Of course my friend. But to me, it looks smaller, even with the perspective. But if you have been there, then I believe you.
  14. LindbergMTL
    It doesn't look like equal lanes, or large enough for let's say, two ciment trucks.

    On dirait plutôt un espace pour les byciclettes, à droite de la ligne blance, sur la photo.

    Alors , si je vois bien ce que je vois, c'est une ruelle, c'est assez grand pour un véhicule, et ce sera sens unique vers l'ouest? Ça va bouchonner dans ce coin là non?
  17. LindbergMTL
    Oh, de beaux avions amphibies. J'en veux un.

    Wow! Bravo! Montréal est perçue comme étant un excellent centre de création culturel. Il ne faut pas attendre, et investir encore plus massivement dans des infrastructures sans commune mesure avec le reste du monde, pour la création de produits interactifs.

    Quelqu'un peut-il m'en envoyer à Vancouver? I am have a St-Viateur withdrawal syndrome!

    À Vancouver, il y a beaucoup de restaurants et d'épiceries qui clament bien haut qu'ils vendent du Montreal smoke meat et des Montreal bagels. Ils sont chers, et pas aussi bons. Mais, ça fait un petit velour sur l'orgueuil du montréalais que je suis.

    With all the hype surrounding the Brooklyn indie rock scene these days, it's easy to forget that only a few short years ago Montreal was hailed as the next-big-thing in music. Such claims were made for good reason: with Arcade Fire, Wolf Parade, The Dears, Stars, and Islands to name a few, it's no wonder everyone from Pitchfork to The New York Times took notice. And while Brooklyn may have usurped the title and become the new hotbed of indie-hipster culture, Montreal more than lives up to its name and continues to produce some of the highest quality music in the country - arguably in the world - from a new generation of bands. Cue M for Montreal, the music festival organized to promote the music made in this unique cultural kaleidoscope. Beginning in 2006 to showcase emerging Montreal bands to international delegates, the festival has played host to the who's who of current Montreal music, including Patrick Watson, Karkwa, Coeur de Pirate, and Land of Talk. In recent years, the festival has become less Montreal-centric, opening its doors to bands from outside of the city and even outside of the province. This year's festival included bands from as far away as Vancouver and Charlottetown. M for Montreal isn't your normal festival; except for the city it barely resembles Pop Montreal, and it's more concise than industry powerhouses like SXSW and CMJ. "When you go to those other events, SXSW or CMJ or Pop, there are maybe a hundred or two hundred shows happening at the same time," says M for Montreal music programmer Mikey Bernard. "All those industry people who are there, they're doing their own thing. Bands from Montreal who go to [these festivals] pay about $5,000 to go out there. They're not even guaranteed to be seen by anyone because there are too many things happening." How to solve this problem? Instead of hundreds of bands descending on the city and playing numerous geographically improbable venues (as anyone running up and down St. Laurent during Pop Montreal can attest), the festival houses itself in one venue per evening. Last Friday, M was at the Just for Laughs Theatre, dividing the six nightly artists amongst its two rooms, the Cabaret and Studio. The set-up worked wonderfully: one band played while the other set up and sound checked. When the set finished you walked 20 metres over to the other room, waited five minutes, and the next band started. The back and forth organization not only saved time and helped the showcases flow, but most importantly allowed the audience to see every band - no tough picking and choosing required. "It's perfect because every band has their chance," says Bernard. Apart from being incredibly well organized, each night of this year's festival brought together an eclectic and talented line-up. Thursday night saw incredible performances from Montreal's Miracle Fortress and out-of-town buzz bands The Rural Alberta Advantage and You Say Party! We Say Die!, all of whom are set to break out very soon, at least by indie rock standards. However, the night belonged to Montreal's best-kept-secret Think About Life, who incited the biggest dance party of the evening complete with a fan stage invasion and a surprise appearance by Cadence Weapon. Friday saw the likes of experimental punks DD/MM/YYYY play an intense set of rhythmic electronica, while hometown alternative popsters Parlovr (pronounced "Parlour") ended their set with their guitar player in the crowd. Finally, Silver Starling showcased their excellent songwriting skills with their anthemic indie pop to a thinning crowd, though I doubt their crowds will stay small in the future. The huge M for Metropolis finale concert was on Saturday, and featured a host of Montreal artists including Melissa auf der Maur, Malajube, DJ Champion, and Fucked Up - winners of the 2009 Polaris Music Prize. A bit of a dark horse on the bill, Fucked Up vocalist Damian Abraham says he enjoys the challenge of playing to new crowds. "It's a really weird, diverse bill and I like playing to people that don't necessarily like us," says Abraham. "I don't like playing to necessarily hostile crowds but I like when people don't know what we're going to do." The sad thing was that most people didn't even stick around to find out what that was. The room emptied out almost immediately after DJ Champion's set, leaving only dedicated fans and press to witness one of the best live shows in Canada. Perhaps most disappointing was the deserted delegate area, all of whom were apparently too good to be bothered by a Toronto hardcore band. Nevertheless, Fucked Up still played as though the room was full of hardcore fans. Abraham was in his usual form: shirtless and smashing things into his head. In fact, he spent the entire show in the scattered audience, wrapping himself in his microphone cable, picking up audience members, rolling on the floor, and sliding down banisters. "There are more people documenting this show than watching it," proclaimed Abraham midway through the set. Seeing all of this play out in an empty Metropolis and not a dingy dive bar was stunning and something likely to never happen again. It might have been one of most unique Fucked Up shows ever, and that's no easy feat. "A show like this is guaranteed to be, if nothing else, interesting for everyone," Abraham correctly forecasted before the set. M for Montreal is a rare event - a festival that understands that quality over quantity is the key to success. For the most part, the festival only confirmed what most people already know: Montreal and Canada have a world-class music scene with a bright future. And it shouldn't be taken for granted. http://media.www.mcgilltribune.com/media/storage/paper234/news/2009/12/01/AE/M.For.Montreals.Talent.Extends.Beyond.Quebecs.Borders-3842101.shtml

    Canadiens de Montréal

    LindbergMTL a répondu à un sujet de mtlurb dans L'actualité

    TORONTO (Reuters) - The Montreal Canadiens, winners of a record 24 Stanley Cups, are considered the greatest hockey team in history, according to nearly half of Canadians surveyed in a poll released on Tuesday. Forty-seven percent of those surveyed by Ipsos Reid November 24-26 agreed Montreal's National Hockey League franchise, which will celebrate its 100th anniversary this week, is the greatest among the league's 30 teams. A total of 33 percent of respondents viewed the Montreal Canadiens as "Canada's national hockey team" compared with 25 percent who felt the rival Toronto Maple Leafs deserved the distinction as the country's national team. Canada's other hockey teams -- the Ottawa Senators, Vancouver Canucks, Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers -- did not draw more than 5 percent each in that category. The poll also said 65 percent of the respondents felt the Montreal Canadiens are to hockey what the New York Yankees, winners of 27 World Series championships, are to baseball. "To a large number of Canadians, hockey is Canada and the Montreal Canadiens are hockey's greatest success story," said Andrew Cohen, president of the Historica-Dominion Institute. Ipsos Reid conducted the poll of 1,000 Canadians for the Historica-Dominion Institute, which is dedicated to promoting Canadian history.

    Un projet de qualité je l'espère, je parle d'architecture. Quant aux compromis, c'est le développeur qui détermine ou' ça passe et ou' ça casse. Les autorité auraient eu l'air fou de faire tomber ce projet. Je suis bien content de ce récent développement. Le sentier promet d'être un bel endroit.

    Pour avoir assisté au banquet que Honda avait donné à ses meilleurs employés de partout dans le monde, au lodge du Mont-Tremblant, je peux vous dire que les retombées sont énormes, indeed!
