King-Spadina Public Realm Strategy

it is small but looks good. from what i can tell it uses good materials and was put together well. the trees are looking good and get good sun. i think it will be very nice and lush when they plant flowers. hopefully soon.

Agree across the board on plants (what's there looks healthy, and some flowers/understorey plants would be a welcome addition)....

Also on the quality materials.

Not keen on the apparent absence of seating with back rests. At least some would be nice.

I feel there's just a bit too much 'blank' space.

But I need to see it in person to judge it better.

I wonder about a water feature; or something as simple as a few scattered tables and chairs.

Horror vacui.

Horror vacui.

LMAO......

I wouldn't describe it as a Fear.

I would say, I like spaces to have either beauty or function, if not both.

A completely blank space, with no greenery, no art, etc....

Well.....it lacks something.

If its a path, or a performance space, its all good.

But if neither.......

However, you do get points for intro'ing Latin into the thread.
