Toronto's Least Accomplished Architectural Firm

[interchange42]

So, who do you like the least?

Again, I've given you a shortlist to start with. If you don't like it, let us know who you would drop from the list, and who you would add to it.

Have a lot of fun.

Blech. Those are all awful, although I will recognize WZMH's work of the late 90s like Scotia Plaza.

 

[AndreaPalladio]

Scotia Plaza was built in the late '80s.

Kirkor - for feeding the worst instincts of people who have no idea what they want.

Sorry, typo.

Though remember that Page + Steele is where Peter Dickinson made his start, and WZMH picked up where he left off--historically speaking, "least accomplished" is a little brash in those cases...

I am rather surprised that Turner Fleischer didn't make the list, with illustrious projects like Ovation, Cumberland Terrace (your favorite, interchange!), Regency and a smattering of big box stores under its' belt.

Perhaps we should have a "hardest fall from grace" poll where WZMH, Page + Steele, Zeidler whatever Partnership and the likes can duke it out.

You're right of course Alvin, they should be there too. I suppose some things are just too painful.

Page and Steele suck. Page and Plant rule!

Did Jimmy Page ever play on any Tommy Steele records?

Not sure. Don't think so.

A paltry 16 votes, I guess they are all great.

Not everyone can recite a firm's individual projects off hand, and now the poll is closed.

I can't wait for Fleischer to finish that Sapphire Tower they have posted on their website. It looks suspiciously like the edifice which Harry proposed in early 200x - but they wouldn't still have that up would they?

It would be worthwhile. The case for WZMH is compelling because they worked on the CN Tower, Scotia Plaza and Royal Bank Plaza.
