Doesn't look like much changed...

I forgot about those renders - it's hard to muck up a rooftop pool with skyline views, but they managed to do even that (yes, OT, but I can't reasonably be expected to pass up an opportunity to slag Hotel X).

Also, I'm not sure about mandating 'corner stones', let alone making them bigger; but I do the like the idea of making developers of 'large' properties, at least, prominently display, their own name
and every major firm attached the project. If you do good work, best advertising you could ever get.........if you don't..........hopefully you won't be in business too long.

For what purpose? There already a fair number of developers that attach their names to projects (Minto, Daniels) and they don't really stand out as the better firms when it comes to architectural excellence.

I'm willing to give a public not for profit a pass here as long as the service is up to standard.

I wasn't particularly on about St. Mikes; though I realize that's the thread in which this discussion has been taking place.

For me it's more a matter of putting out info both as public awareness and at the same time to hopefully instill greater pride in builders/architects.

Granted, you make a valid point that some developers still place their names prominently on utter rubbish...........not sure what's to be done about the shameless.

Shameless or actually like their projects?

I hate the following but someone must like it if they designed it, built it and most importantly paid good money for it ...
