Thanks Tricky I was mostly referring to the steps and the raised podium of SS, which creates a very nice and engaging public space. I also love the new additions to SS, namely the student study/lounge space that was built when the new glass enclosure was added underneath the cantilevered 2nd...

as someone who does appreciate the beauty and rawness of brutalism... i would agree that Robarts is indeed "clearlybad" As it currently stands, and with the recent additions, Robarts doesn't really tower over its patrons in a stern, old, headmaster style. It is far too flamboyant, especially...

I like the concept of a public square, but... I really don't think that one would work in that location, especially in the form in which you envisioned it. This is only my humble (student) opinion, but the reality is that that parking lot abuts no large public/cultural/entertainment...

Good design choices overall I do, however, agree with the fact that the font-color choice is too light. Something that has a greater degree of contrast with the background would be better. I would say that this criticism applies to the overall design as well. The light blue on light grey on...

Hi everybody I'm fairly new to the Forum. Well actually, long time member but I normally just follow the discussions as they unfold rather than participate in them. I would like to ask the forumers fora bit of information which would help me with a difficult personal decision. I'm curious...

I hope I don't offend anyone with this comment but I really hate the design of this building, at least as far as I can tell from the renderings. Given that this is MCC's first educational institution, I would have expected either something grand and impressive or something sleek and modern...

Wow, some of you guys are disgusting. Only the lowliest piece of trash would find delight in seeing another person come to harm, regardless of how “deserved†you armchair moralists may find it to be. I guess empathy is not yet available at your current level of intellectual development.

Fresh Start Most of the violent ones were not championing any cause at all, they were there to act like asses. I believe this will in fact detract from many of the causes that were put forth by those who assembled peacefully. Just read some of the comments on other news sites like MSN or...

Well, like i said, I dind't have a chance to go out there untill about 8pm. I went down on university over to king, and then back up through UofT. By 10 pm the streets were literally empty, so indeed, I may have missed out on most of the commotion. I did notice few d***bags teasing and...

I went to see what the commotion was all about... ...and to be honest it was a very sad show for the security forces. I went around 8 pm, and saw a fairly minimal number of protesters. The ration of cops to civilians was almost 1 to 1, and most of the people milling around were either gawkers...

The premise of this thread is not completely off base, but it has been very poorly formulated and presented. It seems like the thread starter took some of his personal pet peeves and then generalized them to Toronto is in decline/western society is in decline, which reeks of the typical old-man...
