Not only are you just pie-in-the-face, har-har, *wrong,* you've embarrassingly forgotten what 'garish' means.

I realize the Sheraton Centre is what it is, and it purportedly gives important context to Toronto's history and growth, but my god, it's garish and depressing in a way that this building simply isn't.
How is he wrong? It's his opinion. You guys are such snobs. Just because you and many other forumers think this building is ugly that doesn't make it a fact. Good luck proving it. You know, people think differently, that's what makes them interesting.
I think the word you're looking for in place of 'garish' is 'austere'.
Well, yes there is. And you don't seem to have it.
No there isn't. End of discussion.
"Suggesting that New City Hall would look better w/reflective glass is like suggesting that the Sheraton Centre would look better w/this kind of facade treatment"
The fact that you would suggest that the Sheraton Centre looks better than the building you posted shows your lack of taste. But then again looks are purely subjective.
You both need to grow up and not personnally attack someone for their opinion.

Taste is subjective. To someone that building posted above could be gorgeous even if the execution is poorly done.
"Good taste" is a horrible thing - subjective, perhaps, but also tied to changes in fashion, and a slave to received opinions of what is proper. Far better to stick to ideas of good design and the ability to recognize the aesthetic punch of what is there when you see it.
