IluvMTL Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 I was so impressed whenI saw the new arena under construction in Edmonton on TV earlier this week. I find organic shapes so much more interesting than big boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) J'ai passé une bonne partie de 2016 à Edmonton, pour le travail. La première fois que je vivais au Canada anglais. C'est une ville très étendue pour sa population. J'ai pris quelques photos qui pourraient être d'intérêt pour le forum. Les voici : 14 juin 2016 Le centre-ville, vu de la rive sud de la rivière Saskatchewan. Ils viennent de fermer l'aéroport qui se trouvait à côté du centre-ville et ont enlevé la limite de hauteur. L'immeuble Stantec sera deux fois plus haut que le plus élevé des édifices qu'on voit sur la photo. La rivière a creusé une profonde vallée, qu'ils ont aménagé en parc. Ils auraient pu faire une belle promenade côté sud de la vallée, avec vue spectaculaire sur le centre-ville, bordée de restos. Malheureusement, c'est résidentiel avec quelques tours à condo. Sur la photo, on voit la vallée et les tours, tout à droite de la photo. 1er juillet 2016 Edited April 14, 2017 by Anderson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) Le quartier le plus intéressant à mon avis est Old Strathcona, au sud du centre-ville, de l'autre côté de la rivière. De grands ormes bordent les rues avec un effet de cathédrale. Dommage qu'on ait perdu nos ormes à Montréal. Voici l'effet que ça donnait sur le Plateau Mont-Royal il y a 50 ans. C'est un quartier relax, comme le gros chat gris d'un voisin, avec une belle rue commerçante (pas de photos) la Whyte Avenue. 14 juin 2016 C'est une ville fonctionnelle. Les immeubles de grand intérêt son rares. On trouve le musée d'art et l'hôtel de ville, à côté. 1er juillet 2016 Edited April 14, 2017 by Anderson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) Ils ont une ligne de train léger nord-sud qui se dédouble dans sa partie nord, pratique quand on vit tout près. Elle est souterraine au centre-ville et à passages à niveau ailleurs. Ils sont en train d'agrandir, en ajoutant une ligne qui va vers le sud-est. Mais ils font l'erreur de la construire à niveau au centre-ville. Dans la photo ici, on voit le train traverser la rivière et entrer en souterrain, pour rejoindre le centre-ville. 14 juin 2016 Edited April 14, 2017 by Anderson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) 1er juillet 2016 Ils ont un petit train touristique qui relie le centre-ville à Old Strathcona, en passant sur un vieux pont de fer, illuminé la nuit. 2e photo: vue du train, en passant sur le pont. Edmonton a quelques horreurs, comme toute autre ville. En voici une, des années 1980 (en arrière plan, à droite de la photo). C'est l'immeuble du gouvernement fédéral, qu'on appelle là-bas le Pink Palace. Edited April 14, 2017 by Anderson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 En résumé, rien d'extraordinaire mais certain points d'intérêt. Je discutait avec un urbaniste et il me confirme que les mentalités se transforment. On le voit dans les nouveaux aménagements, plus conviviaux.
