^^ I agree.
Whats with all the hate for MLS? Personally, I think it looks GREAT! Far from ordinary. It looks nothing like Pinnacle/18 yonge. You guys need your eyes examined.
After shooting Ritz, I see this. The bathroom tiles don't work here.
They took the crane down on Sat and caught part of it on this video. My hands were freezing trying to shoot this video as I just finished shooting the Ritz. Had no plans to be in the area until I saw the steel going up from Dufferin and Queen St. It was coming down very slow as it was windy in this area at the time.
^^^ well, I think thats a big part of the point / complaint. the choice of materials and colours is disappointing and so the execution of the already pedestrian architecture also sucks. I know a lot of people get shot down for comparing completed buildings to their renders but I feel the need to fall back on that comparison here. I dont have the renders handy but I remember them suggesting either black or brown glass. The green glass is bad enough but when they put it over top of white panelling for the roof element it just makes the whole design look very cheap. It really boggles the mind as to what developers and architects are thinking. I cant wait for the next trend in building design... we're getting way too many of these things and its gotta stop soon!
p.s. - canarob, I loved that "aqua cluster" name you came up with!
