THE BOW 14 images Created 2 Oct 2018
When completed in 2012, the Bow (pronounced "boe" or "beau") was Calgary's tallest skyscraper. It's architecture and glass structure has made the building an attraction to visitors as well as the office space for thousands of employees.
Due to the construction of Brookfield Place a few blocks away in 2017, the Bow is Calgary's second tallest building, but remains, nevertheless, a truly remarkable and iconic skyscraper for Calgary.
If the building itself wasn't enough of an architectural and engineering accomplishment, the Bow features a fascinating sculpture on its southern plaza facing Sixth Avenue.
Revealed in 2013 and simply named "Wonderland" by Spanish sculptor Jaume Plensa, the public art of a woman's head (in which people can enter through two doorways), has become a local icon of intrigue in its own right for Calgarians and visitors.
