I'll wait for the cladding to be completed before deciding, but that's certainly a loud blue colour. Maybe it's just what the area needs... we'll see.

At last! The cladding that Harry promised would go on top of 1KW finally arrived!

Fantastic! Thanks for posting the link to the video. This is one of the reasons I keep coming back to this message board; it provides access to information I might not have found on my own.
Thanks again.

Wow the AGOshed looks good in the video: nice view of Victorian Dundas West! Now the Victorian home owners should get together and sandblast their facades or paint them bright funky colours: pink, red, green, etc.

The interior looks great. I've always looked forward to going inside. The exterior never has impressed me and it still doesn't. Given the budget cladding the large box in titanium seems like a huge waste.
I would've loved to see everything in glass and wood...that could've been really interesting.

I think he means titanium is a luxury when the overall budget is so small.

I think he meant:
"Given the budget, cladding the large box in titanium seems like a huge waste."
oh the difference a comma makes

... to which I reply:
The only thing that makes the box interesting is indeed the titanium. If you had this large box in precast or brick (dare, I say uhhh... black brick), the box would look boring and without any architectural merit.
So in conclusion: money well spent.

Lol, yes sorry that's what I meant sorry for wasting posting space with a lousy sentence.
Well, my point was that if they dumped that titanium they could've probably done something more interesting than just a box, something interesting on the interior and exterior.

^Do you have something in mind?
I suspect that if we were to get a curvy billowing Gehry structure, the skin of the building would be left without a budget so we'd end up with a nice structure with crappy cladding.
I think this is one of those instances that a boxy structure was made to look beautiful by:
a) It's not just a box. It's a a "T" shaped building hovering over the Grange with an interesting glazing treatment.
b) The gorgeous spiraling cantilevered stair case emerging from the glass and the spiral staircases on each side of the Grange House.
c) That blue cladding is going to be an awesome attraction from all the way down John St. and from around around the park.
