I'd rather see Peter Clewes at 2490 Bloor West than lots of other architects. It could be a nice western book end to Bloor West Village for his project 'Home' from the eastern end of the village.
He's not the only architect that I'd consider here though, and I don't consider all things Kirkor to be crap by the way, but it's Tridel whose architectural record is extremely spotty that worries me. They're starting to build some better designed buildings, but this ye olde Tudory stretch of Bloor, and the line drawings we've seen so far, indicate that we're more likely going to get a schlocky take on Wright from Tridel than anything that could be called an homage... and I'd rather we ended up with something that architectural critics could happily declare a worthy homage.
So bring on the aAs, the KPMBs, the Giannone Petricones, the Cores, the Quadrangles even, and I'd be more at ease about this project.
