Before coming to the podium somebody mentioned his age, so when Gehry got to the mic the first thing he said was "Where am I?" 95 and still a wisecracker.

Indeed!

Can't complain 😂. Out of those cities I've only been to Hamburg and love it, but nothing compares to Berlin, my new home sweet home

Bummer. I love this era of buildings, and I was even looking into moving to an apartment on Raglan a couple of years ago (instead I moved to Germany, lol). I understand the need for more density and intensification, and this is a good spot for it, but I'll be sad to know all these brick mid-rise...

That looks pretty cool. It reminds me of this Nancy Rubins sculpture in London: https://www.alamy.com/london-city-of-london-30-st-mary-axe-the-gherkin-a-commercial-skyscraper-and-sculpture-of-all-the-animals-image236990415.html However, it looks like a potential safety hazard and I don't see...

I'm fanboying so hard right now. I saw his Weather Project at the Tate Modern by random chance in 2004, and after that I've made it a point to go see his work any time I can. Hope he gets selected.

Ford is just trying to please his "fiscally conservative" voters with these no-frills stations, might as well just paint them all yellow.

@Lone Primate I like what you did with my original design! I think I prefer a more restrained palette but I understand the logic of using familiar colours (and it still looks good), and I agree with flipping it, now that I've learned a bit more about flag design, so thanks for that.

It seems to me that they're filling in the northern tip so that they can realign Queen's Quay. Maybe also widening it? No idea.

It's months late but I just saw this photo. I used to live in apartment 803 at the Trinity Lofts (2014 to 2016) and this was almost, if not exactly, the view from my living room o_O

I passed by Wvrst last night at around 7:30 and it was packed, with maybe ten people waiting outside.

If we're lucky they'll hold on to the site for a couple of decades and do something similar to London's Battersea Power Station. ... but I wouldn't bet on it.

I just got back from a two-week vacation in Scandinavia. Seeing the architectural quality in Copenhagen and Oslo's newer waterfront neighbourhoods, and comparing it to what we've gotten in Toronto thus far, I just wanted to cry.

I'm happy we'll be able to see it up close soon, I only saw it as a blur from the window of a London cab a couple of years ago
