Blue & gold? Yes, please. I’ll take it. Ditch the grey forever.

Yeah, esp. here. Overwhelmingly blue-grey. Not in other cities. In UK this summer, newer high rise windows with amber & yellow tints were evident there. Looks so much better w sun & on greyer days. So, it’s a real thing!! My initial point was same materials always used & same glass towers were...

Same glass colour exteriors, materials & building envelope as every other high rise in the city. It’s all the same colour scheme. Its ridiculous. It’s beyond budget. It’s just lax, neglectful, thoughtlessness of Toronto as a city & it’s skyline. And local developers & architects need to be...

The absolute nerve of them. All of them. So brutal.

Noted. Still that stretch of King W is looking so much better.

Do not go the cheap route. Do not go grey. Stick with best materials …for once.

I’m liking this building a lot. King St W is gonna be looking real nice & eclectic soon enough with 388 King W etc .. in pre construction. Hopefully more patios, parks & spaces in theatre district area. If only the god-awful Hyatt Regency building wasn’t there.

Amexon never fails to be unimpressive & so underwhelming as developers. Cheap & tacky construction.

Don’t be like Dubai’s skyline, Toronto. …Cold. Colourless. Characterless. Monotonous.

Cost cutting or not, whether you like LP or not. It turned out wonderfully for a lot of people. A lot of appealing details are (still) there. I remember being intrigued by the visuals of Lookout Slip a year ago & now …a bit underwhelmed, even for an “industrial area”.

Lighter asphalt would have been an improvement for this small space. The final look just doesn’t look very Claude Cormier’ish. Light & fun. Love Park was spot on.

Surprised people are praising it. If I didn’t see the original appealing design, I would think it’s an OK space-but I would have still hated the black surface pathway for a waterfront park. So many other options. Unfortunately, lots of shortcuts taken here.

Did anyone bother to look at original design? A lot of the Claude Cormier (CC +A) charm is missing. The shape & look of the tower is completely different. From full, curved & animated to smaller, flat & severe. A big change. That’s the centrepiece of the whole space. The pathways are now black...

Beyond drab. Looks like a vertical prison. Thank goodness not many will see it.

of note …If Nathan Phillips Square was the 3rd or 4th big public space in town, then maybe one can look past the cost-cutting, drab, boring, overly concrete unimaginative reno; but the fact that this square is the “Premier Space” in this booming big city is just woeful & shockingly short-sighted...

Imagine if Rail Deck Park w/o the NINE condos had shovels in ground or even completed by now. Toronto could have been the envy instead of a dumping ground for critics. Money & funding were the big issues i suppose, but private donations & the philanthropic society for the public realm, in this...

BlogTO is owned by M Znaimer & ZoomerMedia. Parochial, conservative, low taxes over 60 +crowd mouthpiece. BTO is cool until their political agenda comes roaring thru~ car centric, taxes, Doug Ford fans.

You’d think. Yes to RENO.. But at least clean up all those dirt patches in park every single summer-they can start there. I also saw some sort of rendering of a lookout deck at Riverdale Park. Not sure what that was❓

Who’s not demanding change? It’s everywhere now. The pressure is there now, that I’ve noticed, from mayors, councillors, architects etc .. Just willful spite, cheapness & negligence if developers & the powers that be don’t turn that corner & move the needle.
