Interesting that this tower is supposed to be home to Telus, which has a warm and fuzzy corporate image with all its animal ads.

Perhaps Telus will consider putting a big screen on its building showing images of fish, rabbits and meerkats.

I have to ask: is that image supposed to be black and white? Or is it really that monochromatic?

Not a whole lot of colour today, and I even warmed the tones a bit in my RAW editor. Other than a pass with the curves tool in Photoshop, that's essentially how it looked.

Two updates from Sid_toronto on SSC. From Nov. 14.

I love this development so much. I can't wait to see the other materials used for cladding the framed parts, and the black or grey part on the podium.

I just noticed those thin bars supporting the outer fins of cladding. That's a little detail that should give a nice industrial design to the tower.

The glass is very successful pulling a cue from the sky.

This tower is absolutely stunning.

I just realized that it reminds me of the original modernist Sunlife Building on University Ave. beside the Shangri-La site, with its subtly reflective and grey glass and cladding.

WOW .... this really illustrates very well the 'super-reflective' glass on Union Tower (on a lovely day)

 

[jswag]

^ Yes, so clear it's almost an optical illusion. Poor old Brookfield Place is trying to get noticed down in the corner there... nobody pays her any attention anymore haha.

That's my favorite part of this one!
