If ya gonna do grey, makes sure the insides are warm, amber and inviting...like with this building.

To think this was a parking lot for decades...

The white soffit of the overhang around the atrium is great - reflecting and diffusing the light from the latter.

Agree completely, and would add the warmth in the colour scheme and lighting in the lobby adds positively to this effect such that the reflected light conveys a certain warmth, one that might not be expected from an institutional space.

Yes.. though some in the Statler and Waldorf gallery suggested they maybe used as planks to walk the convicted. >.<

Or maybe for chair girl to do a live re-enactment

Framed by the east and west towers of City Hall. Taken from the 19th floor, East Tower.

I felt the law books art sculpture and message was appropriate, so I included it here, although it is not on site. It is by the existing law courts to the south. I kind of used those photos as bookends, pun intended.

The typeface used for the sinage is trash...could have been a lot sexier

Not nearly as oppressive as the one down at Toronto Police Headquarters...but still weighted and not in a good way. >.<

Is that fence part of the books installation? I mean, one never knows in this city the fine line between temporary and permanent. Maybe artists/designers/architects should just start incorporating fences, jersey barriers and whatnot into their plans.

That’s probably more my bad photography skills. It actually looks quite appropriate in person, at least to me. But then maybe I also have weird art taste.
