Lamentable, but so long as the antenna is still in play I am okay with it being disappeared by IO. Additionally, hoping the eastern elevation gap comes to fruition with those protruding balconies...although at the moment I cannot tell what exactly will transpire here? The item at the roofline...

I disagree. How is this a huge mistake? The little parkette interventions that have been cropping up along this stretch of Queen (Denison, Ryerson etc.) have been great for the street - so long as the city can maintain them. This will tie in perfectly with them - and if designed properly could...

The comment wasn't directed at you, or anyone on this board. I remember some years ago, there was a Safety Justice League (?) representative, who made a big stink about the slopes and lack of fencing and warning signs on the wave decks at Harboufront! My comment is more reactionary to the...

This entire thing needs to be fenced-in, roped-off and the slopes flattened!! This is an outrage! It's dangerous and I am scared! I also want more signage explaining the dangers I am about to engage in, while accessing these spaces. Ahhhhhhhhhh! Water. ....meanwhile the ever cunning and...

Agreed - my point exactly, but I guess I was thinking more about the general idea of how it evolved - that it had the bones to continue being so much more!

Very true - on all accounts :P. Money talks and bulls$%t walks, I once heard.

Absolutely - so true. I am sure this has been mentioned before, but my realization some years ago, was how other than the main atrium really, the Eaton Centre has completely lost its identity. It struggles to be relevant in today's short-attention spanned minds, which in turn pushes CF to react...

...I deleted what I initially wrote, because my energy levels dropped and my brain started to seize up, for all the thinking and writing... Instead, I will show a picture, which I am sure many of you have seen - of the Eaton Centre, shown sometime between 1977 and 1980(?), where I feel...

What could have added more depth and character to this building, is if they had kept the temporary vertical slot, indented it and made it into a substantial reveal. It would have broken up the monotony of the box. Ahh, but B+H is not good enough to pull that off. p5

Pig on a pig. Pig on a lipstick? Stick on a piglip? On a pig, lipstick? Pig. Lipstick. A pig on lipstick. (...👍) Lipstick pig... ....brings all the boys to the yard. Oh...covid.

You might be onto something here. If you look at the mechanical levels (zones), which are sandwiched between the residential floors, they are quite a bit taller than the original proposal. They could conceivably be inserting an additional floor into each of the mechanical zones, which would give...

Sorry, but that is wrong. You absolutely need to keep the concrete warm, especially curing during winter months, when temperatures drop below zero. When pouring they often tent or provide heat-blankets to maintain and heat the concrete to prevent freezing. Sub-zero temperatures can cause...

Exactly - great point ProjectEnd! UD & Planning are always looking to see if a project creates a precedent - typically something they will try to dissuade the developer/design team from creating, where possible through planning changes.
