The suspended heart was one of my favourite aspects of the project tbh. It's already called Love Park with a giant red heart pond in the middle... so I don't think anyone is worried about it being too on-the-nose.

Is anyone aware of any top down views of the former and now current seating layout? As a non-avid baseball fan but a big big skydome fan, I want to be able to compare/overlay both to see the difference between the two because it's hard to discern tbh.

Dpai really dropped the ball on this one, especially given their relatively good reputation in the city for quality architecture. I wonder what happened behind the scenes.

Are these markets connected under Front St via the basement stall area?

The yellow/beige brick seems so dated to me now. It's like a throwback to the beginning of condo-boom era!

As a landscape architect, I'm not sure how they expect the tiny patches of grass to hold up any better than muddy patches of dirt.

There's a lot more depth to the minty facade than I expected as shown in the photos above. Definitely more palatable.

Lots to like about this project save for the really bleak streetwall along St. Patrick street. Anyone else agree?

Nations definitely is a "real grocer"... A well-rounded grocery store perfectly suited to get your staples. I often drive there to do grocery shopping.

I totally agree. I think the loss of the crown becoming gradually smaller in diameter and it’s subtleness makes a bigger-than-expected impact.

This is sooo minor and maybe not worth mentioning by why is one side of the signage flipped with the water spout facing the building 😩

CIBC and Renault too… we love to copy 😩

I like the curved parapet. Everything else is a no for me.

Union station great hall revitalization punching the air rn.

I love these dutch gable semi-detached homes on Sullivan Street near the AGO. I always make an effort to walk by them when I'm walking through the area.

I was surprised it wasn’t included in the UT best building post.

Also we might need to update the name of the architecture firm in the title. They're known as Pelli Clarke & Partners now.

Unforunate that they couldn't replicate or re-imagine the existing retail spaces as it's replacing one of the final stretches of fine-grain retail along the mile. (Google Maps).

Y’all are misunderstanding. Go off sis is not in any way negative. It’s Gen Z vocabulary.

I don’t know... I think there’s some sort of muted simplicity to be found here. It’s monolithic in volume but serene or calming in its materiality and colour. It gives precedence to the architecture of the original building while straying outside the conventional Toronto approach to heritage...
