This is turning out really sub par. I wasn't expecting high quality architecture either which I don't think is realistic for what this is.

It looks like a vertical prison, and I don't feel like I am being dramatic. It is the first thing that comes to my mind in the above photos.

 

[Amare]

Similarities to this one perhaps?

 

[ssiguy2]

This thing is horrid. looks like student housing.

 

[Automation Gallery]

Yes it could've been better, but give me this building anytime, the planned LED lighting will be a pleasing surprise
Ill bet when all said and done, this complex will 'be the talk of town'...yeah, many of you will be eating your words on this one

Look at the big picture my friends, and stop acting silly comparing this to a prison or student housing

 

[Lenser]

You, an apologist for a thoughtless blunder of a building - what a shock.

 

[stjames2queenwest]

I appreciate automation's optimism

 

[Lenser]

That's pretty funny. Thanks for my morning laugh. Hey, I'm optimistic too - in time I hope other buildings crop up around this hideous block and obscure it from view. But it won't happen soon enough.

 

[stjames2queenwest]

I agree it's very ugly in day light. Let's just hope it's better in the dark

Bland and forgettable. The less said about this "design", the better.

This thread in a nutshell:

1. Someone posts picture
2. Everyone vents their displeasure with what they see
3. Repeat

 

[Lenser]

And how is that different from a dozen other threads in here?

Salsa, do you like the building in question?

I think he's just making a light-hearted joke about how awful this project is and the consistently awful reception it gets each time a photo is posted.

 

[Lenser]

I guess so...
