“Edmonton is not a city of iconic design and architecture. There are few if any structures here that could seriously be put forth as ‘iconic’ on a world scale, and that’s fine. Edmonton is a pragmatic city, perpetually a place to get things done. Edmonton is a place to build structures which serve a purpose rather than to build magnificent edifices which serve as monuments to vanity or capitalism. Despite this, Edmonton contains an amazing stock of interesting and unique structures as beautiful as they are practical.”
