WTF is that podium?

It's honestly not hard to make a decent podium design using the standard condo podium kit of parts. Can we please have Graziani + Corazza banned from the city?

See, I think the building got tired of the disrespect. Look at that laser cannon!

Okay, so the balcony railings do a lot to clean up this building...

In the last photo, it looks as if the tower was flared towards the top. I also noticed this optical illusion from Yonge St looking north.

Pretty funny series of walkbacks/clarifications in this comment thread:

"Design devices for compatibility." Good lord - no wonder we got so much supposedly contextual garbage. And saying talk to the developer about it just washes their own hands off this junk - the walkback just look absolutely impotent after singing the praises so loudly.

@MafaldaBoy has employed a tool in Photoshop to keep the walls perfectly vertical in the photo, even though IRL we would see it diminishing in size at as tower rises since the top of it is further away from us. The perspective "correction" tools make for some interesting images, but they do not look natural.

The scaffolding in the alley behind this building has come down.
