Sorry to tease you LightArchitect, but it is very reassuring when a newbie gets it.
And light is the primary ingredient in the idea (not easily found on this scale in downtown).
For those of you who wonder if I've exaggerated the scale of this opportunity... take a walk to the site. It's 2 small blocks east of Yonge. It's huge.
FROM SHUTER:
INDENSE: here's the west to east gateway from Church... lines up with the Metropolitan's tower. Not the scale you imagined but pretty damn good nonetheless.
EDITORIAL NOTE: Toronto has evolved into a(n) European/Asian/South Asian (with a dash of Buenos Aires for good measure) hybrid meeting place. There are many thousands of folks (old and young) who will sip an espresso, shop for shoes and eat all night long here because I'm convinced this kind of place is embedded in the city DNA. It just doesn't exist yet.
Final comment... if we don't intervene, who will?
