I think you need to sober up, dude. Toronto was pretty lame in the 90s: http://www.blogto.com/city/2011/01/toronto_of_the_1990s/ But the city was far worse in the 70s: http://www.blogto.com/city/2011/10/that_time_when_toronto_was_a_city_of_parking_lots/

^ +1 Toronto does a damn good job at looking like Toronto, and that's all I care about :D

Does anyone know of a monosyllabic interpretation of Toronto? "Tron" would be pretty cool...

Beautiful shot, tomms! You're just about the only person who can restore my faith in the beauty of Toronto whenever we receive a blow from someone like Joan Didion. Also, does anyone know the vintage of that white building across the street? Is it old to begin with?

Is the onion dome intended to be a pastiche based on Russian architecture? If so, was it motivated by nothing more than Alex Shnaider's caprice?

Yes, that might be true about other cities, but public works projects move at a snail's pace in Toronto. Do I even need to bring up the St. Clair streetcar project?

Wow, I didn't realize that you were a student, too. I was under the impression that you were some masterful architecture student at U of T. Really, it's absolutely amazing - a million times better than the dreck they have at City Hall!

I'm confused - is that the same building?

Um, is this doable? http://uppertoronto.ca/about

In a city where the car takes precedence over the pedestrian, and cracked concrete sidewalks line our downtown streets, why abhor an abundance of wooden telephone poles? Although these poles are seen by many as indicative of Toronto's decrepit, antiquated infrastructure, others chose to view...

My sentiments exactly! Also, I realize that you've probably addressed this earlier, steveve, but do you make models professionally or for pleasure?

Is Don Valley Village too far north for this thread? If not, I'd love to see some old photos of The Peanut.

All of these projects are too convoluted; mine requires two steps: 1. Burn down Toronto. 2. Have Bjarke Ingels rebuild Toronto à la Loop City. http://www.big.dk/projects/loop/ See? Brilliant!
