It vaguely reminds me of Dana Porter library in that rendering. (Must be the white and the trees....)

well I think this proposal looks much better than University of Waterloo's Dana Port library with substantially more glazing ... I actually quite like the white frames shown in the rendering, whereas Dana Porter is more like a fortress with slivers of windows
For those that don't know Waterloo ... this is what UW's Dana Porter looks like:

DP, unlike Robarts, is a good pick up joint. 
It's also my favourite "highrise" in Waterloo.

Two construction cranes have been installed at the Block 32 TCHC site over the past week. There is also a lot of other miscellaneous construction equipment on the site. This one is now well underway...

AKA this tower will have some nasty concrete slab of a mechanical penthouse and will only look good from the south.

It was an email I got a few years back. Apparently it was done during exams. I have no idea who did it or when it was done.

I find KPMB designs of late insufferable. It's like they have no idea how to do big/ tall building well. I agree that Teeple is far more interesting, an actual design studio vs. KPMB which is turning into a building assembly line. This particular one looks quite similar to Festival Tower, just take the white balconies and turn them into white frames.
