Northeast elevation, partial view; A large mixed-use development containing a hotel, conference center and retail stores. Affleck's ideas for internal "streets" were emulated by a generation of Canadian architects: he thought that indoor and outdoor systems should be interconnected and punctuated by "events", which could take the form of garden areas or terrace restaurants, with shopping and office levels adjacent, all woven together with easy pedestrian access up, down or through the complex.
