    Toronto Toronto | Concord Sky | 300.2m | 85s | Concord Adex | Kohn Pedersen Fox

    Since it will only be on the first few floors, it feels like it will serve as a great transition from the heritage stone to the all glass facade. Almost feels like the stone is peeling away (hopefully not literally given this is Concord) and revealing the glass.

    Toronto Toronto | BMO Field Renovations | ?m | ?s | MLSE | Gensler

    They had similar temporary stands in Sao Paolo when I attended in 2014. It's still a fun atmosphere and sometimes the best seat you can get/afford is far from the pitch.

    The fasteners and exposed rivets are part of the Gehry charm, for me at least. Look at any of his work and you can see the nuts and bolts (literally) for how it was put together. That being said, I really wish they figured out a better way to resolve the corners...my hope is that it looks...

    If you can get me the most updated diagram, happy to update. I've given up with Toronto Docs site - there's no way of seeing what's the most recent file.

    Toronto Toronto | East Harbour | 214.2m | 65s | Cadillac Fairview | Adamson

    Canary Wharf is a once badly planned business district that's being transformed by residential construction but most importantly really good transit infrastructure.
