Beautiful concept drawings, however I can see why at the time it had to be brought down a little bit haha.

I always loved the architectural style of the Science Centre. As a child, it always reminded me of the Space Shuttle (I was and am a huge space geek). It was just so bright and different that it made your eyes widen when coming towards it on your field trips.
Arguably, it's still Edmonton's coolest building to me.
Edit: @Platinum107 that looks like some sort of nightmarish dream sequence building. I'm glad they laid off the cocaine during the design process and made things a bit less jarring.

This picture is from an article from the Journal, sometime in the late 1970's/early 1980s. This may have been the original model.

That's the one. I know we didn't have the tech or will power to do it then. But this would have been a spectacular building. and beside a Hemingway building even better. And now add the new Velodrome. that park will look great.

Wow, I mean I like the version that we did get, but that building would have been iconic.

Hey, it looks like a living alien spaceship and I like that about it!

It was intended to simulate a "flying saucer" -- space transportation of the "fantasy era".

Original stand alone or current with the additions I really love the look of the building.

They musta realized problems would occur as people approached the outer perimeter of that promenade.

Clareview Rec Centre morphed down somewhat. Yikes is understated, and I'm tired of seeing cheap knockoff versions of Dubb's city hall all over the place.
