I think that they are getting ready to pave the plaza and Maude install the artwork. Taken 7 December.

Hahaha. Would someone just get the instruction booklet?
I just wanna pretend that someone is looking at Limberlost and changing some minds and orders.

Noice...but the cladding needs to move beyond the test paneling. Just saying.

Curvy door stuffs
Hope they find something interesting to do with this.
This is to catch welders sparks right?

This building is trying to be too many things at once. There are a number of questionable choices on the residential portion but my latest favourite thing to hate is the precast vertical elements at the first two storeys which are co-planar with the brick above (which they visually clash with) but are not done in the same material. Either inset them or just bring the material above (precast brick in this case) right down to grade.
A reveal or channel is an architect’s best tool IMO, especially when working with a shallow facade with little depth to play with (ie. condos). Material transitions that happen abruptly often look poorly considered.
(And the materiality here is schizophrenic to begin with.)

I think it's the weird disconnect between quality material and the more valued engineered stuff (painted brick, really?) that's throwing me off here...
...that said, it certainly has some interesting shapes and textures so far which hasn't gone over into Kirkor jankyland quite yet. Although, I'd like see where this is all going before I pass final judgement on it.

I want to like this, heck I did based on the renders. But this is a dogs breakfast...or to put it more intelligently, an eclectic architecture that reminds me of a strange, derivative post modern stylization. There are good moments in this, but I can't see past its faults both thematically and in terms of materiality.

We're one step closer to them adding the cladding panels... then changing them... then turning the plans upside down, sideways, then realizing they were the wrong plans, and restarting again
