I am a younger demographic. Still looks awful to my eyes.

On a different note, I'm wondering if @kEiThZ could offer any insight on the reluctance to send more advanced and capable air defence to Ukraine to secure critical infrastructure. If there was ever a time it would be now, these defences would be way behind the frontlines, the risk of capture...

I mean the simple fix is just educating yourself before saying something blatantly wrong or incorrect, or just not saying anything at all when it's a topic you don't know much about rather than just up and deleting your account. It's not difficult to be a constructive contributor to...

This looks a like a real mall, which I find Canada really lacks. It's incredible, wide open, multi-layered, with absolutely fantastic aesthetic and design choices on top of it all. This feels like actual architecture here, like the designers didn't want to create just a space but an experience...

I have high hopes for this project. If the finishes are the quality of 55 Mercer this should be a really solid addition to the city. IBI has designed some pretty good projects of late.

This so easily could've been a home run. It's like they had to try to fail here.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/nov/28/clashes-in-shanghai-as-protests-over-zero-covid-policy-grip-china Only weeks after Xi secured his third term it seems something may be brewing in China.

Those last two photos are excellent! Who knew all it took was blocking out the project almost completely to make it look good!

One would think this might occur to them at some point along the process. I would not want my name associated with this project in a million years.

Once upon a time when I thought this building was going to be high quality, I thought the sets of walls facing inwards towards eachother were going to be curtain wall. Ohh how wrong was I, instead we get messy window wall and grey? Spandrel for some unbeknownst reason. As for the hate for this...

This debate has been covered ad nasuem so I'm not going to get into it other than to say I'm tired of seeing this narrative still be pushed. Some people may not like them but others clearly use them. Not debating the merit of the high level balconies but this is a tired line of thinking. That...

It's ok, obviously high quality, and am always a fan of timber buildings going up. But despite being objectively high quality I can't say I love it.

Unpopular opinion here, but while the original design renders were better than the current design renders; I think in practice, the new version will look better built. I was very skeptical the original diamond pattern would actually be super visible, esp after CIBC square finished. Most shots...

It was simply an observation. Generelly speaking though, buildings should be more than "just buildings" look at homes and buildings historically. The were a craft, something with thought and care, they contributed to the landscape. There's a reason we like to stop and look at old buildings. It's...

Except these cities do have skyscrapers propsed, not all of them, but lots of them have numerous proposals that break the 150m mark and esp the 100m mark. Niagara, Kitchener, Hamilton and Ottawa all have several skyscrapers U/C or proposed. Additionally, I know this doesn't exactly go in line...

I proposed what I think the most agressive and significant possible response to this attack is. It's a highly unlikely scenario that hinges on a lot of things, but it's a maximalist response within what would be justifiable. That is all I was trying to highlight. I also disagree that Belarus...

Also possible Poland (not NATO but backed by NATO behind closed doors) could take out a launch site or two in Belarus (assuming that is in fact where this missile came from) Ukraine will most definitely get some shiny new toys. I mean no offense Richard but you clearly have absolutely no idea...

No way. Cooler heads will prevail on an incident like this as long as it's a one off. Poland will be under extreme pressure from it's allies not to invoke article 5. If this starts to happen on multiple occasions, that's a different story.

Tbf, I said *more* sound, which does not require much given previous tactical decisions. I wasn't trying to imply Russia has suddenly started fighting this war as one would expect a "superpower" would. (I use that term lightly hence the quotations) I'm just saying there's slightly more tactical...

Yes, it could also be a tough fight, we shall see. Russia appears to have fundamentally shifted their thinking to more sound war doctrine and will be focused on creating defensive lines and holding their current territories, rather than being in unsustainable offensive positions. I think how...
