Canadian War Museum, Ottawa, Canada

The Canadian War Museum is located in downtown Ottawa, overlooking the pastoral banks of the Ottawa River and rising slowly towards the east to engage the urban cityscape. The building is horizontal, with a rooftop of wild grass. To the south is a large new urban park called The Commons which is used for concerts and other large events throughout the year.
