Richardson Building, International Style skyscraper at Portage and Main, Winnipeg, Canada.
The Richardson Building rises 34 floors with granite chip pre-cast concrete and solar bronze double-glazed glass walls reaching 124 meters into the Manitoba sky.
The initial 1929 construction plans for a 17-story structure were halted by the stock market crash, leading to a revised project completed in 1969.
The building integrates public art, including a bronze sculpture by Leo Mol and the North Watch piece by Ivan Eyre, enhancing the street experience.
Connected to Winnipeg Square shopping mall through the Portage and Main Concourse, the building contains office spaces for approximately 3,000 workers.
The structure stands on 64 concrete caissons extending deep underground, supporting the third tallest building in Winnipeg.
