Wow, that is grim.

Interesting! I love this stuff. It's a real "how long is the coast of Britain"-type question.

Neighbourhood boundaries are always fuzzy – I always think back to the urban studies course I took in uni, and how the lecturer would sometimes wax romantic about "my beloved Roncy", but would freely admit she had no idea where it began or ended. (Perceived neighbourhood boundaries also vary...

Cheap trash. Absolute garbage, top to bottom. Like the Worst Toilet in Scotland scene from Trainspotting was transformed into a building.

Other than the art, it's an uninviting, bland wall of glass at street level and it's replacing five storefronts along Bloor (plus one on Dovercourt) with one (or maybe two, if they subdivide that space, but I wouldn't hold my breath).

Waldemar? More like mal de mer, amirite folks

Dear God, they've out-chedingtoned the Chedington...

At least they didn't call it "iconic".

Unlikely, it's literally brand new – new storm water treatment facility, as noted on the previous page:

I hadn't seen these renderings of the Dupont pedestrian bridge before, from gh3's website. Apologies, I can't remember – was this the actual plan, or just their proposal?

That's a good idea! No, we passed when you were I think investigating the planters and trees in front of Clint Roenisch's gallery, a little north of Enigma.

I remember seeing the people in your photo when my partner and I were out for an evening stroll – we must have walked right past you! This is such a small town sometimes.

As infuriating as anything else the Ford kleptocracy has pulled. At least I got a literal lol out of the thread title developer / architect citation, though

I just want my dang diagrid hangers already!

Retrofitting the Hearn for an event space/museum/gallery a la the Tate Modern would definitely qualify as a "Landmark Institution", though the price tag to remediate and make it safe would be eye-watering (worth every penny, though).

Beautiful building, lovely photos, appalling typography. Seriously, in the year of our lord 2021 they go with Copperplate? (To say nothing of the misaligned counter of the R)

"This is a residential area! It's no place for a residence!" The (barely) underlying logic being, if you can afford to purchase/rent a home at Toronto's exorbitant rates, you are a resident. If not, you're... something Other. Money bestows full citizenship, and its absence apparently creates...

Oh, I thought it looked like a turtle shell, and they were only ever going to play Mario Kart here...

What a thoroughly depressing thought.

Given the neighbourhood and the councillor, I'd expect a fair amount of NIMBYism.
