either it is two tones of red fins, or it's another mistake and they'll take the cladding all down again...

does this apply here? https://www.blogto.com/city/2024/04/two-new-parks-toronto/

i dont get these 'outdoor theatre plazas'. when complete, they almost never have outdoor performances of any kind, leaving them barren in use. And there is never enough public activation (ie. an adjacent cafe or retail in the cultural building) to help promote their use when there is not a...

I was at the Architecture and Right to Housing lecture last night at Daniels, with Paul Karakusevic as one of the key speakers. The talk was great. Paul mentioned that the first TWO buildings have been awarded and are in the DD phases. I know Cobe and AA were selected for the first building...

was just by here yesterday morning, the hoarding is going up

pretty certain thats metal. you can see the plate and bolts. i dont know any precast manufacturer in toronto that could make concrete formed that thin at the top.

LOVE IT! Great textural quality. will capture shadows very well

great streetscape forming along Mill, unlike any other part of the city. Holding my opinion that this is becoming one of the most balanced urban scaled streets in the city. Can only imagine the activation that the future hotel/restaurant will bring at Mill and Trinity. Only wish that distillery...

there's nothing to be taunted by. lest we forget it's just perforated grey metal panels, it's nothing special to await.
