It seems that anything CF touches inevitably turns to crap (with logo stamped prominently on top)

Yesterday evening. Water has definitely cleared up.

To my eyes this is one of the most important and underacknowledged city building projects in all of Toronto. It will have a transformational effect on, not just the university, but much of the surrounding neighbourhood. In terms of car free greenspace it's like adding another Queen's Park to the...

These Potemkin stations and surface LRT aren't fooling anybody--the tunnelled section is a ruse, people. ML is fleecing us, stashing the money earmarked for construction into Swiss bank accounts and bitcoin. Same things gonna happen with the OL. You read it here first.

Does anyone see the possibility that the ample dimensions of the Therme structure could possibly be repurposed as a science museum/planetarium--with some natural history thrown in--when the spa goes bankrupt? It's acually in close proximity to the pods/cinesphere which could be much more...

The simple solution to pretty much all of the problems associated with OP is right in front of everyone's eyes: build the spa on the northern surface parking lots and arrange the new science centre (with eventual/fantasy planetarium) within the confines of the Therme site on Westeros. Save as...

I'm teary eyed thinking about it. If it wasn't for that "old" terminal my great-grandparents might never have met.

That's a much larger block, and the buildings involved are offset enough so that there are views beyond the neighbouring tower. The towers also slim down as they rise so their is not so much elevator demand on the upper floors. Anyway,I'm not really a fan of that development either. so I don't...

Two supertalls on the same freaking block is beyond absurd. The developer of this dystopian scheme has truly crossed into Montgomery Burns cartoon villain mode.

Could TMU work out some arrangement with CF? The university must be salivating over all of that empty space right on their doorstep. A large downtown public library would also fit in nicely.

Is that fence part of the books installation? I mean, one never knows in this city the fine line between temporary and permanent. Maybe artists/designers/architects should just start incorporating fences, jersey barriers and whatnot into their plans.

Yeah, that's true. I was just spitballing, mostly in jest. Certainly there are more doable ideas out there....

I could see some sort of meta/digital/social media art concept working here. Maybe devote a couple of digital screens to selfies people take while visiting the square in real time (they can upload the images/videos to the related website which randomly chooses which ones to display) I'm sure...

Kinda like Joe Pesci in Goodfellas.

Given the location, this would make a great site for Therme's spa.

I'm sure the FODF Group will express a strong interest, if they haven't already. (Friends of Doug Ford for anyone still unaware of this powerful lobbying organization)

Someone should timelapse this. If the ramp hits all 4 corners--circling the drain as it were--it would look pretty cool.

Wait, aren't ALL the threads for that?

Rochdale College? Surely those folks didn't need to have actual glowing building tops in order to see glowing building tops.

The most insulting (and maybe ironic in the infamous song's use of the word) is its sheer prominence in one of the most emblemetic post card views of the city. It's like CF really wanted to be a bug in the city's chardonnay.
