Great shot.
Wow lots of cranes,You would never think that there is a ressission going on with all this citywide construction activity.
Great shot.
Well it can't be both at the same time. Sensibly linking the waterfront to the rest of the city like this, by extending the existing streets south and building similar sorts of buildings to those found elsewhere, is appropriately Torontonian - and quite a different thing from a harbour consisting of open space with grandiose edifices scattered along it, which isn't our style at all because we're not Dubai or Shanghai.
The problem is that you're assuming it has to be one or the other. Restrained and connected or iconic and aloof.
I think it's very possible to have an iconic building that's also well connected.
Is there a second rate office building or a condo that doesn't have the word "iconic" scattered through its promotional bumf? Confusing modesty with mediocrity and setting up a false dichotomy where only spectacle has value won't elevate these places to significance.
The stage was removed as it did not jive with the new Sugar Beach proposal.
So why didn't they just move the stage to the east side? I don't think Sugar Beach is the real reason. I'm sure $$$ had a lot more to do with it.
