    If they are under an obligation of confidentiality (which appears to be the case) then, it would be a breach of contract to release it.
  4. Thanks.

    Thanks.

    Is there the ability to install escalators from this entrance directly to the spaces on 2 and again to the space on 3?

    Great shot - haven't seen the banding on the north side before.

    The "dots" on the facade may provide enough of an indication that "it ain't sky" up ahead... but that's only on the south half.

    Thanks for posting [the TopShop/TopMan photo].

    I wonder why they didn't use reclad the entire section including the curved wall to be uniform
    - and why they didn't replace the wall at grade with...

    Presumably the floor of the box drains to somewhere and they can simply hose down the inside of it from time to time.
    However, I do suspect that the fritting and shadowing are intended to disguise a...

    This pic nicely shows the area of the future PATH connection.
    I guess they couldn't connect directly over the tracks, so had to cross Simcoe first before connection to Skywalk.

    Thanks.
    The assymmetry due to the SW corner is a bit odd. I guess it looks best viewed directly towards the corner. The fins don't seem to add much

    Great shot showing the elevated guideway and the future connection to the Georgetown Line:

    Could the indented area be backlit spandrel panels (for a lighting display)?

    Wierd to have menswear stuck in the basement - the biggest benefit of the Vancouver renos was to "daylight" the menswear department - especially the "regular" suit department - so you can hold the...

    There's a certain quality that modernist built environments have - like Simon Fraser University's quadangle. I was reminded of that watching the Planet of the Apes marathon last weekend on TV - The...

    An angled mansard style may have been better or shorter windows
    with a steel curved mansard roof above (providing interior height).

    Thanks - looks like the front facade has morphed into a "hood".
