    As pointed out by interchange42 earlier in this thread, the current cladding will most resemble Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris.

    Will there be cladding on the cheese roof or will it be left bare like it is now?

    Thought this was neat I stumbled across this image depicting the evolution of the sketch models for the Beekman Street Tower in Manhattan. I found it interesting that there was a little similarity between some of the early stages of concept and the towers proposed

    Wow, thank you for sharing this. I was really curious as to how that was going to be implemented, it looks better than I thought.

    I'm definitely more of a scope person myself. Given, flat is much better than the 4:3 standard, I personally get a better cinema experience on scope, theres just so much more background and foreground elements that add depth to the image.

    The place is called Maple Leaf Square, it's not such an absurd idea considering the building is themed and catered to Leafs fans. Sure the logo idea on the top of the building would be unconventional, but a disgrace? I am a leafs fan and would not mind having a leaf logo on top, although it...

    The Panavision comment was a bad joke. The current aspect ratio used on the ACC screen is 1.78:1(16:9). What I was vaguely stating was the aspect ratio for the altered ACC screen, which is 2.39:1(or 2.40:1). Yes, it is not used as the television standard today but It isn't an unused format like...

    The aspect ratio is 2.39:1, which is the standard for I guess movies? I wish hockey games could be shot in Panavision!

    What if... I love the new screen, but I personally thought that it would have looked even better with a slightly wider screen. Just for fun, I made an alteration to drum118's pic! :D Your thought's? yay or nay?

    That would have been a nice autumn touch. But it's no surprise that they would paint it the Maple Leafs logo's. The only problem is that they are not the TML logo's, they are maple leaves painted poorly which give them an overall tacky look.

    Whoa, I wasn't expecting them to paint the maple leaves. Looking at it now, I wish they had used the Leafs current logo. The leaves look kinda weird, sort of like a Canadian maple leaf/TML logo hybrid.

    Absolutely agree with you here, it would look fantastic with the black panels used on MLS.

    The nauseating smell of Lush

    Far too strong of a scent, and they don't even smell good.

    I am also wondering how the new ACC facade is coming along :)

    YES and yes. This whole area needs to get a facelift.
