Toronto 59-65 Adelaide Street East | 227.55m | 63s | Premium | BDP Quadrangle

Clearly vapourware, but still: it would be nice if BDPQ designed a decent façade here. What is this? Overscaled windows, overscaled masonry, weird protrusions. There’s no continuity in materials, alignment, scale or detail with the courthouse next door, which is among the best and most important 19c buildings remaining in Toronto.

GBCA’s argument here is weak sauce.

The idea that this could be a serious proposal, or would be received as such by the city, reflects so poorly on our design culture. Please try harder, everyone.

While I love the design rationale, the execution sucks.
