Gorgeous Green-Roofed Structure Hides a Massive Parking Lot under a Soccer Field

Hidden under the green roof soccer field where the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) Trojans play all year is a three-story parking garage. Nestled into the hillside and wrapped in a perforated metal screen, the Bing Thom Architects-designed SAIT Parkade is as unobtrusive as it gets. On top of the parking garage, uber low-pro, the natural-ventilation encouraging metal screen features a beautiful design of billowy clouds by Vancouver artist Roderick Quin. The giant piece of art is practically unknown, but is a hidden gem that interacts with the sunlight and helps the parkade blend in with the sky.
