The HUB competition, for the University
of Alberta was for the re-purposing and
replacement of the roof for the existing HUB
mall. The Calgary office of Busby + Associates
Architects Ltd. entered the competition.
My primary role in this competition was to co-
design a renovation for the HUB “spine” with
the other members of the Calgary office. The
design employed a sustainable envelope by
salvaging the existing trusses and to re-glaze
the structure through the use of insulating
channel glass. By varying the support structure
mounting height we were able to achieve the
undulating form. The project included a crtical
analysis of envelope performance.
