This is a building that was put up within the mid sixties. It's called the Sturdy Stone Building and holds primarily government offices. It's very different within the manner that is was built architecturally as well there were four artists that created plaques of art on five of nine floors. As I was there to do some things. In speaking with the security guard he gave me an entire history of the place.
I didn’t get the captures within this time of the year but the art is really something that is all too interesting. For some reason the building was built in the shape of an Octagon and I did not get all the pictures but the circle on the outside of this building and within it has some symbolism. I am not sure what it is as I will have to read the brochure that I was given. Neat build and shall get it from another vantage in the spring.
It looks like a building made within the 70's yet it's a historical building here. However I loved the artwork.
love this one! So properly layed out
ReplyDeleteOne pic is missing ... but its a very nice one if i may say.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many of these on each floor there are one that is above each of three elevators. It really amazed me as I had been in there when I first arrived back here and I never knew these all were on these floors. There is a theme here yet I am not sure what it is as well as within the circle and the shape of the building.
ReplyDeleteNo favorite they are very interesting and nice to look at..great detail...

ReplyDeleteI have to figure out the meaning of this circle within this building there is something to it.
ReplyDeletegreat details!

ReplyDeleteIt looks like wheat.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting building.
ReplyDeleteIt does DJ, I have to read up on this as it really is something to figure out. Symbols they are something that are very interesting to say the least as this same circle is on both sides of the building as well. I will find the code :)
ReplyDeleteits a doughnut ... [?] well, guess the motiff of this building is something that has to do with the kitchen ... loved it as kitchen is my rendezvous, literally ... smiles*
ReplyDeleteYes it is it really was different and take it if you wish...somehow this level must have something to do with occupations...
ReplyDeleteExcellent
ReplyDeleteNeat, the depth within the forest, really nice.
ReplyDeleteSo cute, does each of the artwork represent an element?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I have seen two rapaces on trees along the highway on my way to Magog Saturday. There was one that seemed to be an eagle and the other one was most probably une chouette with the yellowish feathers, pretty much like this one. Its feathers were all fluffy in the wind.
ReplyDeletea very interesting collection indeed, flora...
ReplyDeleteWould they be sun and moon since there is symbols for air, fauna, flora and all... let me know when you find out. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI shall as there is a meaning to this building and it's there is some symbolic theme for some reason. It almost sounds like I am talking about the Da Vinci code :)
ReplyDeleteThis building looks to me like one of those that were built and decorated to celebrate the achievements of the working man and all the trades.
ReplyDeleteThere were two men that built this a John Sturdy and someond with the surname of Stone. We have yet to break the code :)
ReplyDeletewho ever the artists were its all pretty impresive.
