In addition to the section with alternating glass cladding, I believe that wall too is Ductal concrete. http://blog.archpaper.com/2012/03/kpmbs-ductal-facade-in-toronto/#

The material in the renderings sort of reminds me of the concrete found on the Rotman Expansion building. To borrow a pic from @agoraflaneur :

Well... http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/home-and-garden/architecture/a-ziggurat-for-king-west-take-a-peek-at-bjarke-ingelss-plan-for-toronto/article28812865/

Yet Steeles is very clearly labelled as BRT which falls into the category of not being either and LRT or Subway.

^^ Indeed, boundaries are created and destroyed all the time (particularly municipal ones). As much as some people may think as the 905 as some sort of wasteland inhabited by philistines and brutes, I'd argue it very much adds to the social capital of the city. Same goes for the inner...

Pardon me if this has already been asked or if it's a stupid question but would the RT trains fit into the Sheppard Subway tunnel? I know the difficulties in changing the Sheppard line from a Subway to an underground LRT is that the tunnel is too small, but would the RT trains be able to fit?

The neighbourhood is technically named York University Heights.

Showing some real class in making fun of someone who is clearly new and whose first language is probably not English. You know, it's not like we'd be able to detect broken English in a city like Toronto...they're probably just cavemen.

Nice that @Admiral Beez just equated sketchiness with income level. You've totally missed the point regarding the Three Cities Report.

Huh, never thought I'd hear 10,000 days in a promotional video for One Bloor.

I for one like the Queen alignment assuming that Smarttrack also goes through.

It really, really doesn't. The mock plan you drew up in the other thread would rip up the wooded area along the creek, would have to tunnel very deep seeing as the H-wing, S-Wing, Bladen-Wing, and ARC are all connected underground, and the way the University is planning on growing the "middle"...

I would second Poutineville, Smoke's gravy doesn't do it for me tbh.

Just a quick unload, sorry for quality

Pretty sure battlement refers to both the merlons (parapets) and crenelations (spaces in between) together so I guess it would be just as technical. Edit: In hindsight you are correct given that we aren't talking about a real fortified wall.

It could obviously be much better but it frames the square nicely and the reflective quality of the grey spandrel doesn't look too bad in the sun-light in the first picture (but not so much up close). I suspect this thing is going to mirror the video boards quite a bit.

Not sure Waterfront West LRT would be completely redundant, we still have a lot of development coming to Humber Bay Shores and Lakeshore Blvd West is one of the city's highlighted Avenues. Totally not based on any research or expert knowledge from my part, but I wonder if it would be worth...

I'm not so sure it's useless, there are a lot of people that live in those apartments at Mornelle Court and that's only going to increase. I suppose if it truly is much cheaper to build a bridge over the large wooded creek area and then somehow fit in an at grade LRT stop in between this then...

There's a Centennial College building at the northeast corner of Morningside and Ellesmere that would be overlooked by that plan. While it might be close to the military trail stop the topography of the area makes it a bit difficult. I don't think its justifiable to not have a stop at Ellesmere...

Pretty sure that's exactly what is being proposed. Morning side + Ellesmere -> Ellesmere + military trail -> Military trail + morning side
