What does one of the largest independently owned oil and gas companiesdo to turn over a more sustainable leaf? Well, in this case, EnCana hired green-tech architecture firm du jour Foster + Partners to design their new, environmentally sustainable headquarters in Calgary, Canada. Dubbed The Bow,the new tower’s namesake comes from its overall shape, as well as thebreathtaking views it offers inhabitants of the Bow River. As expectedfrom a Foster + Partners design, the form of this sustainable skyscraper follows some very green function.
