The base is blocked by the Hummingbird Centre in the main rendering for a reason. It's a shame it didn't turn out as planned.

- Where it's urban. And dense.
Yeah, I think that's what I meant. That's why it looks cheap.

That's just it, it probably wasn't planned. It looks like an afterthought. It bears no relation to anything around it whatsoever.

Y r these toronto architects failing at the ground level soo miserably. I really don't get it. Do they need an extra course on how to make things attractive and appealing to the eyes for pedestrians? I'm not an engineer or an architect and I know this simple concept.
Daniel Libeskind is a Toronto architect now?
And is the building finished at ground level?

Well, I guess for those whom Toronto is the centre of the Universe, the be all and end all of creation, then everything and everyone, including Daniel Libeskid, could be a part of, or an extension of Toronto…..

Did Libeskind design the newly designed base or P+S?
Libeskind is credited with all of the exterior design strokes.

Great pics.
I was always under the impression everyone working or visiting a construction site needs to wear a hard hat.

I wonder how blinds are going to work on those units with the slanted windows. They sure will get hot in the summer!

Blinds can be put on a guided track to conform to the shape/slant of a window. Curtains would be an issue though.
