I like Hume too. But I fail to really understand his rather harsh commentary here. I think this is one of the most spectacular, practical and beautiful projects downtown. During my last visit to Toronto, I walked past the future
underground PATH entrance to this building. I am looking forward to seeing how it integrates with PATH.
I hope more buildings will adopt this model.
We're in trouble if this is one of the most spectacular, practical and beautiful projects downtown. They didn't cheap out here. (except for not using full height glass) That's about all there is to this. I agree with Hume. They have tried to merge two parts together that shouldn't be together. The result is a compromised glass tower of clumsy angles and planes.
Street level is great and it can be dangerous to look up so, I don't mind this project at all. I just don't want it to be called (one of the) most spectacular projects in the downtown as hard as it is to not agree with it.
