    Great. They've discovered the font-size menu. We're screwed now.

    Toronto Toronto | Aura at College Park | 271.87m | 78s | Canderel | Graziani + Corazza

    Yeah, I can see that giant mound of dirt interfering with the construction process. I wonder what their plan is?

    To transition between the built form of a tall, dense neighbourhood and the form of the surrounding low-rise neighbourhoods. The idea is that it's not cool to suddenly be hit with a wall of tall condos, casting tall shadows and jutting out of the ground like obelisks.

    Oh, The Architect. I would have hoped a bit of history would be on the curriculum at architecture school. (Which you attended. Right?) Toronto's fraternal buildings, from Heritage Toronto

    Thanks 42. Sign me up for NO FORGIVENESS.

    And replaced with unaffordable schlock? I live in a 1930's plaza in said strip (well, just down from it), and I'd rather have a place to live rather than look at renderings of a "Rain room". Not that the area doesn't need a little help. Well - its the residents that need the help. Just remember...

    Did you ask what happened to the design at the top?

    Did we ever nail down exactly what they really mean by "pausing to catch our breath"?

    They put a sandwich-board ad for the sales centre near my place at the corner of King and Dufferin. And I have to say, it looks pretty funny sitting here on the wrong side of the tracks.

    I like the Uptown. Did I miss the memo on a new article of faith?

    Oh lordy! Let's hope that never happens. What an awful thought!

    ^ That's because I established a charitable prize foundation under a cryptic name ("The Mothers' Pancakes Foundation") and e-mailed everyone about the jumping-to-conclusions award behind your back. Rest assured the game is afoot! Our $35 jackpot (plus gift card worth 100 FarmVille credits) is...

    What are the odds that Mayor Ford is going to scuttle this one?

    John Street Roundhouse: Toronto Railway Heritage Centre, Steam Whistle, The Rec Room

    It breaks my heart - totally breaks it - that Toronto passed on the opportunity to connect its railway museum to the mainline when it had the chance. Now we have this museum of working engines that are trapped on 100-foot long stretches of tracks, never to haul tourists or go on excursions. Can...

    Quick Pic(s): First Canadian Place Re-Cladding Slowly Being Revealed

    I do believe there is a way to control it, actually: Don't make blue-green-coloured glass.

    You really must have tuned in recently. We had this building called Metropolis, see...

    Toronto Toronto | Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    I wonder if Waterfront Toronto was pushing to have this done by the last council meeting, before the election, and missed their target? At the Heritage Toronto debate the other day, Mr. Ford explained that the Don was "filthy dirty" but could easily be cleaned up by volunteers.
