Waisman Ross Blankstein Coop Gillmor Hanna: Radisson Hotel, 1968C–1969

  • Winnipeg, Manitoba, Kanada, Show on map
  • #TOU #UnitéType #North America
  • The Radisson Hotel, a twenty nine-storey building stacked above a nine level parking garage is an example of the adoption of Brutalist aesthetics for commercial high-rise construction. Based on the model of Le Corbusier’s Unité d'Habitation in Marseille the building integrates a whole “city” of different usages in one tower. The façade plays with different plastic qualities of exposed concrete.

  • In use. The theatres in the ground floor were closed in 1999. Renovations in 1971 and the 1990s.
