No, I'm not attacking it for a lack of grace. I love the RR style too.

So why did you refer to "that great ungraceful red brick building", then?

It's anything but graceful... but I still like it, and very much in fact.

Last piece of the crane...

for some reason, i've always found the beige "strip" running down the north side of lumiere, reminiscent of the ted rogers school building...

Where are the coloured panels!!!

Looks like they're going on soon--that hoist on the roof looks like it's gonna be used to install them. Maybe they want the crane down so loads don't accidentally damage the panels?

This is a building that really has to be seen to be appreciated. It also doesn't help that the east side of the building rarely see's sun so getting a lit shot of Lumiere is difficult

Is it just me, or did this tower go up quietly... i still cannot believe Lumiere is near the end. Maybe if they added another 20 stories it would have gotten much more attention.. this lot could have supported a taller tower 
. i guess i'll have to wait for Aura.

The alternating pattern of precast on the north façade is strangely unresolved at the top. It just comes to an abrupt end. There should have been one more slit/gap down the middle running up to the roof. Disappointing.

I don't know about supporting a taller tower not without transfering a lot of the density from the lower floors. The parking is five levels deep if that is any indication of density. I'mnot really a fan of point towers on podiums with 30 metre of space inbetween the towers. It just doesn't feel like a downtown area. The Aura site is enormous by comparison too.
