^ It would be an improvement... especially that Rob Ford image.

^You forgot the giant neon-lit rotating qtip on the roof, for all those waxy eared tourists ;)

Re: PCL: Metropolis Update June 1/06 = July 13

I never understood the old torch renderings. Were they going to do holographic flames on top or something? Weird.

I sure hope that whatever group takes over the torch that they have the design sense to finish it off with more glass and the rotating billboards, as originally planned.


Its a shame that Apple opened up its relatively small store in the Eaton Centre. They're one of the few companies with the fanatical type of following that can draw crowds to that side of the square. And we know they're all about design. Did you see their Cube store in New York?
 
Re: PCL: Metropolis Update June 1/06 = July 13

Metropolis is looking good. They have started to install green glass panels on south side, facing the square. I think it will look awesome when completed.

What are the pillars to be clad in? The windows won't cover them, it appears.
 
Re: PCL: Metropolis Update June 1/06 = July 13

At least they won't be exposed concrete as indicated by the early application of blue skin insulation.
 
Re: PCL: Metropolis Update June 1/06 = July 13

In the view looking west Metropolis really accents the non-linear streetwall, which I like a lot. Heck, it's actually nice to see a streetwall here to begin with, finally.
 
Re: PCL: Metropolis Update June 1/06 = July 13

Yes, that old Hakim has to go. I would be happy with an empty lot instead of that building (in the interim before something decent takes shape at that corner).
 
Re: PCL: Metropolis Update June 1/06 = July 13

Slightly off topic but I noticed last night they were installing some kind of display (video screen?) on the south side of the Atrium.
