The fundamental question here really is;
-would you prefer that architectural firms and developers play it safe and further embrace and refine Toronto's conservative style or;
-would you rather see some more diversity in designs, perhaps at the risk of the occasional blunder?
Option 1) Maintain or increase the number of glass-clad, neo-modernist, minimalist box designs being built i.e. The Four Season's, Bay-Adelaide Center, X, X2, Theatre Park, 18 Yorkville, Telus, RBC, Southcore office towers, TCHC: Block 32/510 Bremner, 501 Yonge st. preliminary massing, Casa, 42 Charles East, Murano, Spire, Pure Spirit, Clear Spirit, Gooderham condo's, Quay West, Nicholas Residences, M5V, The Bond, U Condo's, MYC, Peter Street Condominiums, the King Charlotte, Pace, 415 King West, 120 Harbour etc.
Essentially this option is for both A) those who like the current status quo, as the majority of new highrise buildings downtown fall under this category. And B) for those who would like to see the ratio towards this type of building increase even further.
or
Option 2) Build more 'out of the box' designs i.e. Aura, The Ritz, L Tower, Absolute World, ICE, The Met, Encore, Panorama, Shangri-La, Monde, Chaz, 77 Charles, One St. Thomas, One King West, 88 Scott, Picasso, etc.
