Perhaps the balcony cutouts are an overhead representation of what taddle creek used to look like, roaming through the old city? This needs some help from the design review panel.
460 Yonge, Karma's gonna get you.
At least 1 Bloor makes sense to me. Aqua in Chicago has an organic look to it that looks like spilled water with a lot of randomness to it. 1 Bloor takes the idea and uses more controlled lines and a distinct and controlled pattern throughout the building - so I can respect that as it is a different feel.
This on the other hand just looks like terrible mixture of both without knowing what it wants to be.
Yep, we're seeing this all over now (another example: Shuter Street condos).
1BE is terrible (IMO) and will end up looking nowhere near as good as Aqua Chicago. I like it's podium (in concept), which hopefully allows for pedestrian activity still.
Are the balconies trying to represent a gastrointestinal tract?
Any bets on who did this one? I have my guesses
Another ugly as sin project from CS - the illustrious ones who brought us RoCP, DNA, etc. trash. All we need now is the public art component - the world longest neon light trimming the "wave"
