No no, Turd Road would be named after PP. Anyway, y'all settle down, this is all moot. It is to be called E'thaa ngii-kakinawe gii-mino-ayaawag Road, which is Anishinaabemowin for "Enough with the divisive politics!" 42

"2.8" killed me. They couldn't find something rounder? Hey, these things are going to be 7.1 TIMES THE HEIGHT of the Manusudae Grand Monument in Pyongyang! You know, the statues of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il? Yes that! OMG, SEVEN POINT ONE TIMES!!!!! Source Bjørn Christian Tørrissen 42

"Unique" …ly dumpy? It was never even finished properly. What's there to preserve properly? We already celebrate our failures enough with the TTC continuing to install single-point switches on the streetcar system, let's not celebrate every failure, please. 42

It absolutely should. If the developer popped for particularly high speed motors, sure it would be fine when all three were operating... ...but how often is one down for repairs or reserved for move-ins/move-outs. There's no excuse for just three elevators here. 42

Magnums. 42

Mmmmm, contours... 42

Wind studies are part of the initial proposal... but I'm not sure how much is being taken into consideration with the "move the entire tower south by 9m" "solution" — whether wind or other livability factors. Moving the building south by 9 m leaves a 1m setback from the property line...

Emmmmm, the real test on this one is going to be the rest of the podium. The rendering is not photorealistic enough to visualize how this unusual design will be manifested.This could end up looking very good, but those materials, whatever they are, will have to have been chosen carefully. 42

Good brick staining or painting jobs use multiple colours to ape the natural variations in brick batches. Time to call the brick painters back for another few weeks' work. 42

Yup, northwest corner of the site, which equals the south side of The Queensway east of The West Mall (as per below). The underground right-of-way for the subway is protected from where it swings off the CP line from about the 427 as far as the Etobicoke Creek; anyone building in the area has to...

Some last shots of views from the top! Back down to the 84th, waiting for a cab ride back to earth... 42

A shot south from the 89th floor… ...and then we walked the rest of the way up to the 100th floor, still being formed, and then mounted stairs up to the top of the elevator core form, equivalent to about the 101st floor: Here's what it looks like upon arrival: Going to the south end...

Okay, some shots from the way up, and then stopping at the 84th floor for a look around... The red tint on the right side of this photo is from the coated grilled that the lenses were poking between. Still a fan of Alice Aycock's public art pieces down there, "A Series of Whirlpool Field...

We have a difficult time getting info from Mississauga. For whatever reason, that City treats info as if it's theirs to hide from the public. 42

My fault for this tangent, so to wrap this up... the club has been there for decades. Over the past several years, the number of jet skis has spiked, and apparently they dump more unburnt fuel into the water than the more traditional motorboats that is the bulk of the club members' watercraft...

Uh, like lumberjacks running up trees and lopping their tops off? 42

Haha, I was going to say, that for me it's a statue of a horse with some guy on it. I can only imagine that moving the statue to a more prominent location near roads would deter, uh, spunkier UofT engineering frosh from painting its balls, as has been the case from year to year. Personally, I'd...

Walkie Scorchie's ability to melt objects that it doesn't like is related to its massive concave plane of glass over dozens of floors that focuses the reflected light into a rather small, hot point. This facade doesn't have that overall curve, and its many ripples will scatter the reflections...

In this case, it happens to have been a her, and she's very intelligent... but smarts don't necessarily equate to sharing taste, and my point is that in response to @ushahid, there is no typical pedestrian. Everyone's different. She and her hubby have done an amazing job on retro-decorating...
