Absolutely disgraceful. Unacceptable to have this garbage present anywhere, let alone pollute and overwhelmingly loom above one of the finer looking buildings along this stretch of Yonge Street.

Pretty awful!
Yet another act of architectural deceit- another punched-window building that pretends to be an all-glass building.
Either pay up and make an actual glass building, or design your building around the fact it won't be one.

It was posted on April 1st afterall. Got to love how G+C is spraying mets all over the Yonge corridor 
And best yet - Claude Cormier + Associes are going to be the Landscape architects. Are we going to have another 300 Front, pearls before swine kind of scenario?

8 Gloucester outfit inspiration: $3,000 Tod's loafers on the feet, and a Winners clearance bin hoodie on top.

This was apparently on today's Design Review Panel agenda (April 12th, 2019). I hope they tore it to shreds.

All the redesign wouldn’t help - it would just go from one pile to another given the players involved. It’s like trying to re-animate beef jerky back into a cow.

I was reading the article and I was hoping to see something like, city is disappointed by the G+C architects utterly garbage contribution to Toronto skyline, therefore they are banned to practice in Toronto.

"Our inspiration was... okay to be honest, we basically took the Hariri Pontarini design and tried to make it as sh*tty and cheap as possible."

Good on the DRP for calling it out. An absolute embarrassment.

"It barely feels like a design" . From a firm that are barely designers? Not surprised.
