Designed by Foster + Partners, The Bow tower located in Calgary, Canada and scheduled for completion in 2010. The tower is built for the new EnCana headquarters and will be the first significant mixed-use development east of Centre Street in downtown Calgary.
The first steel tower to be built in Calgary, The Bow’s use of this core structural material reduces overall material use by 30%. Additional green features (often found in Foster + Partners’ designs) include a system of interior green spaces, and three sky gardens.
