“Radio Canada” was a Canadian international radio station owned by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. In its broadcasts to foreign countries, the station emphasized what was happening in Canada. Not much is said about Canada in the world, so RCI had to fill that gap.
The Radio Canada House in Montreal is one of the country’s most popular skyscrapers, built in 1973 specifically for the radio broadcaster. The building is quite large, it reaches a height of 105 meters, built of reinforced concrete construction combined with concrete sheets.
Its external facade is painted in brown colors and topped with a flat roof with antennas. Such an unusual design was chosen for a reason, as this construction is considered to be the most durable.
Inside the building there are offices and a radio station, from which all radio programs are broadcast. The walls and floors of the radio house are painted in calm and restrained colors and are complemented by office furniture, as well as a cozy cafeteria and a toilet.
