We'll see how this turns out, but I'm not a fan of the renderings. I find all the plantation hides the architecture..

This is a very good view - I now see the site much better in relation to surrounding development. This will be an interesting precinct to experience in person next time I'm in Toronto.

I wish Time and Space had all this plantation to hide that "architecture", if you can call it that.
IMO, this project is perfection, from the massing, to the materials, right down to the plantation coverage strategy.

The vegetation and terraced planters are part of the architecture.

?I thought it would be cool to bring forward some of these landscape design ideas from a UT story published 5 years ago… hoping these are still in the plans.
“The ground plane of the courtyard would have a natural, rocky feel, featuring terrazzo pavers with a gradient and range of aggregate sizes that correspond to the character and programming throughout the public realm. Rocks and natural extrusions would be used as seating and gathering places around the courtyard, while movable chairs and tables will also be scattered throughout.”
The courtyard ground plane shifts in the paver colours, along with the cloud-maker could make this a very cool public space.

I'm just stoked this is finally getting above ground level. Next milestone is to see the actual shape take form.
