Architecture – Stained-Glass Windows

by





Stained-Glass Windows truly are beautiful! And on so many levels! The design! The Artwork! The play of light! Featured here are 16 of the world’s most breathtaking according to Architectural Digest: and they should know. The one pictured above was designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany. I attended a classical concert at the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris – it is quite stunning so much glass that you wonder how is this standing.


Ottawa Doors Open 2017
June 3 & 4

by





Yesterday the participants of Doors Open 2017 were announced: it’s quite the list.

I think I’d like to go to the Canada Council Art Bank this year. I’ve never seen the Embassy of Hungary nor the Embassy of the Republic of Armenia, could see those. And oh my neighbours at the Stadacona Hall, the Brunei High Commission are participating – must see that building: I’ll put that as number 1.

I have seen Earscriffe the British High Commissioner’s Official Residence: it’s spectacular. The Embassy of Algeria the Fleck-Paterson House is a must see. One of the rare houses whose interior is designated – a decision made to protect the house from a reckless owner. If you’ve not seen the Diefenbunker – that’s also a must. There’s a restaurant not far from there, you should stop in at Alice’s Village Cafe very funky. Many moons ago I saw the US Embassy that’s quite the building, perhaps not the ideal time to visit, but if you want to remember there are buildings that you must book ahead.

And one last thing take note of whats open Saturday & Sunday vs Saturday or Sunday.

Architect – Barry Padolsky

by



I think it might be fair to say that Ottawa would not be Ottawa without Barry Padolsky’s contribution. Oh of course other architects have their iconic buildings, but Padolsky is everywhere: and you may not have been aware. Plus of course he sits on the Ottawa Built Heritage Advisory Committee at City Hall and tries to ensure that architectural contributions of the past survive the live on into the future.

Better start with Mercury Court as it is his signature piece and where his office is situated. My only question is why is Mercury now static I seem to remember he would spin in the wind.




Some time ago he restored and added to Strathcona on the Park in Sandy Hill.




His glass addition on the Victoria Memorial Museum is stunning. I don’t remember the details, of why the original tower was removed but my recollection is weight, sandy soil, and sinking. This is great as it is a glass echo of the original stone structure.




The Integration of Grant House into a new construction is to me how heritage ought to be done as much as possible. The original structure in front and the new build behind. Not for nothing this building merited so much praise.




One of the classic school to condo conversions Ecole Guigues is beautifully done. The condos with their high tinned ceilings and tall windows are striking.




This refurbishing of 170 Lees makes is a great improvement.



The reconstruction of the Ogilvy store is another heritage success story – it now proudly stands as a landmark at the eastern end of the Rideau Centre.



Finally Art House as well as the Ottawa Art Gallery Expansion and Arts Court redevelopment. This delightful multi use building in Sandy Hill yet to completed holds much promise for the arts and and culture community. Of course I had to include a picture of the foyer because of the Swan chairs.
