Close-up of the intentionally crinkly bits.

I love the crinkly bits, but I will admit at times it looks like a pair of crushed cigarettes.

I wonder why they went for the crumpled bottom. The sculpture speaks for itself already,

I hope the motors and pits can withstand copious amounts of dog piss! I'm guessing they can if rain isn't a problem.

Do these things rotate yet?

I wondered that too. Thought it was an accident at first.

Now, I suspect it's to hide graffiti, scratches, scuffing, and other things at heights humans can easily reach which would be highly visible on a smooth reflective surface.

From last night: McEwan signage is up, maybe they’ll finally open next month

They've been hiring for awhile.

Shouldn't be more than a few weeks away, if that.

Yesterday, they said "mid-January" on their Instagram.

Interesting that they have not yet changed the entrance doors yet.

^ I thought I had opened the wrong tab and ended up at a movie trailer or promo.

Nope, just the 1% art contribution.

This afternoon.

Too bad it's not the Original bloors design not because it was taller but because of the uniq design, this one is obviously an Aqua from Chicago design. Not only the design but the heights of the two buildings are almost the exact same!

Aqua may have come first but this is a better looking building.

Interesting. I stayed right next to the aqua building this summer and like it better. I also like One Bloor just something is off about it and I don’t know what.
