Fair. I think it's much more of a striking resemblance for me since I live in Vancouver and see BIG's building almost every day. Had Adamson not gone for the stepped setbacks, I'd have a different opinion. That being said, it is a sad state of affairs IMO that the design ethos of some local...

Ha, they did. Except theirs is a poor copy with plenty of cheapening cause they can't afford to build a cantilevered structure. People at Adamson actually got paid to rip off BIG's original design, but to build it at a fraction of the cost. All that time in architecture school and no...

They've basically plagiarized BIG's Vancouver House building in Vancouver by Westbank. Didn't even *try* to change the design details. Adamson Associates should be ashamed: source...

I moved to Vancouver about 10 yrs back and it pains me to see the drivel being put out by developers in Toronto. Quite a few of the projects seem to be lacking in quality & design. Do the developers putting out shoddy projects not take pride in the city?! There's extensive community...

A friend sent me this and I didn't know where else to post it:

Hopefully this will lead to other developers raising their game.

Stephen Hawking was at the official opening that took place on the 21st: Link The Verge has a nice article about the building with some pictures of the interior: "What we have here is the Bell Labs of the 21st century," proclaimed Mike Lazaridis, co-founder and vice-chairman of Research In...

Nice .. they look like ribbons fluttering in the wind from that angle.

There's also the Infinity tower in Dubai designed by SOM (still under construction):

Here's the actual post: #2207

Good article about the construction of Absolute: Increasingly complex designs, tight deadlines and higher tolerances are pushing equipment suppliers to develop more sophisticated, and more user-friendly products for the concrete construction sector. Complex designs, be they for tower...

Nicely done. There clearly is design inspiration from the concept rendering, although it appears the smooth and curvy facade was a casualty of Ryerson's cost-cutting.
