Lot of people hating this one. While I don't expect a lot from these architects, I'm going to wait until there's a rendering for this one before making any judgements. There's a few details in it that I'd like to see in 3D perspective and colour.

i guess...but still, there is a lot that one can glean from what we have been able to see to this point. and it's not looking good.

t-minus two hours until the games begin!!

Is one allowed to take photos of the renderings/massing studies/plans at these meetings? I never know which makes me feel awkward, so I chicken out and don't take photos.


p.s.
Note about the design: One thing to look at for everyone here though-- the balconies on this tower are pinched in/ creased. Look at the birds-eye view plan of the podium and look at the outlines of the tower's balconies.

I never ask if I can take pictures, I just take pics and wait for someone to ask me to stop. I usually get a good few minutes of film/pics before I get stopped.

From the community consultation meeting tonight. Detailed report coming soon. I just got home, gonna go make myself a snack.

 

[Tulse]

Wow, that's even worse than I expected.

 

[Northern Magus]

They've recycled the fourth place design for 1 Bloor.

 

[MDV3]

Cool. I like it. I wish it was a bit less obvious to which building this was inspired by though

 

[canarob]

Jesus, that's a train wreck if I've ever seen one. I wish I could un-see it!

 

[Mongo]

I like it. Obviously Massey Tower is better, but given that this is far from a final render, I think this one has potential.
