St. Albert Place Part 2 - its sculptural symmetry mimics the curves of the Sturgeon River that runs behind it. There are no corners; only curves. Built in 1984, St. Albert Place was designed as a "people place", housing a unique combination of civic government and cultural activity. It is an amazingly beautiful building located in the city I grew up in. It was designed by world-renowned Canadian architect Douglas Cardinal. The building showcases many of Cardinals signature architectural details. Douglas Joseph Cardinal, OC [Order of Canada] He is a Canadian architect based in Ottawa, Canada. Famous for flowing architecture marked with smooth lines and influenced by his Aboriginal heritage as well as European Expressionist architecture, Cardinal is perhaps best known for his designs of the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau, Quebec (1989) and the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C. (1998). He also designed the First Nations University of Canada (FNUniv) in Regina, Saskatchewan. St. Albert Place, 5 St. Anne Street, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada.
