    Wait we're actually getting a podium screen in Toronto that isn't Yonge and Dundas square!? I didn't know that was possible!

    The carelessness surrounding historical objects in this country astounds me. We tear down gorgeous aspects of our public realm to pave them over with concrete. There's just a general lack of awareness or caring when it comes to building the public realm in this country, which includes examples...

    *SRM, but yes you are correct.

    Those trees on the terrace should look really good when they're fully grown. Lots of room for them to hopefully thrive too!

    I disagree. Maybe high quality blue glass would be, but value engineered and cheap blue glass would be just as bad. Again I'm not saying this is a good building, it's objectively bad and my comment history backs that up, but at least it breaks up the monotony of the area a little bit. I'd...

    I think acknowledging that it at least isn't more of the same in a sea of mediocrity and trash is hardly even feint praise. The building sucks, no one is disputing that. It is valid to point out that at least it's different though.

    Was just thinking the same. It's horrible but at least it's not horrible and green/blue.

    2022/24 Russian-Ukrainian War

    Let's be clear, a military coup does not necessarily mean anything would be better than it is now. I've seen quite a few articles about how top Russian generals feel Putin isn't doing enough to support their war effort. Even if Putin loses power, there is no appetite in Russia to end this war...

    I cannot wait to visit this for myself when it's open.

    Bank buildings never disappoint.

    Mississauga M1 & M2 at M City | 197.81m | 60s | Rogers Real Estate | Core Architects

    I also agree the shape here is stellar. I wish the cladding was different but maybe in 20 years we'll see a reclad

    If something is actually happening here that would be awesome! Far too many NF projects that end up nowhere.

    2022/24 Russian-Ukrainian War

    Not when you're official opposition party is pro Russia. The current Moldovan government is the first pro Europe Moldovan government in a long time if ever. I really don't think amending or ignoring the constitution is an option for them. On paper they could do joint drills I'm sure but given...

    2022/24 Russian-Ukrainian War

    Moldova's constitution has neutrality written into it so I don't really know if any of this is possible till they are actually at war.

    2022/24 Russian-Ukrainian War

    They don't have to sadistically massacre civilians though. Ukraine has been loud and clear about voicing their support for Russian defectors. It's no different to me than the people who worked in concentration camps who said they were just following orders, I don't care, you're committing...

    Toronto Pinnacle One Yonge | 345.5m | 105s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    No this looks like it is highlighting the twist, there are two distinct types of cladding visible here, solid white on the left and half white half clear on the right. I'd assume the transition pieces are just missing currently. That said I might be going crazy but that new cladding doesn't...

    I'd argue I'm one of the biggest proponents of heritage preservation, something Toronto has dearly little of. I don't want all the houses to see the wrecking ball here, but there are thousands of similar streets, in gorgeous neighbourhoods, with large old trees and victorian era housing...

    Toronto Nobu Residences Toronto | 156.66m | 45s | Madison Group | Teeple Architects

    At least Daniels is unapologetically bad though, whereas here they're pretending this building has prestige. Also the podium at Daniels is more than serviceable. This is honestly worse than even time and space. To think that there was a time when this was one of my most anticipated...
