There's something very 1970's about the colour and visual of that photo.

Nice snap. Looks like the R 101 has landed on Dundas Street.

Walked by it today, I'm really liking the looks of this. Believe it or not I'd never walked Dundas west of Bay St before, even though I walk around all the time. I had to snap a shot, the way it reflects the sky is great.

I love the golden reflection on the glass; great picture.

There's a problem with two of the windows...

Yup... you can see it in the last pic and the one before it. Odd

The glass is triple pane. When it arrived on site the outermost panes on those two windows were broken, so they cut out the bad pane and installed the remaining two good ones, just to fill the hole temporarily while a replacement could be ordered. That's why it looks recessed, because the glass in those two spots is thinner than it is everywhere else.

What a pity that the faceted nature of the glass emphasizes the facets as much as it reflects the neighbourhood. Still, I think the bold gesture of this great billowing glass sail rises above such limitations of form.

Is the area directly behind the glass indoors or is this simply an exterior visual element? It looks like it would be tough to seal in at the point the design changes, behind, and underneath.
Behind the "torn " bits at each end it will be open air. Otherwise, the visor will encase the Galleria Italia sculpture gallery.

Looks pretty bad. Hopefully it's corrected.

Which two windows have a problem?
