    Toronto Toronto | Downsview West District | ?m | ?s | CLC

    Yeah I agree, I feel like cursing. This makes ZERO sense. Everyone coming to these meetings for the most part have been asking why density isn't being increased.

    Toronto Toronto | Canary House | 50.3m | 13s | Dream | BDP Quadrangle

    I feel like I've seen this orangy-red palette in London (uk), thus I like it.

    Toronto Toronto | Etobicoke Civic Centre | 75.82m | 16s | CreateTO | Henning Larsen

    Toronto Toronto | The Well | 174.03m | 46s | RioCan | Hariri Pontarini

    Some great photos. It would be really cool if there were live music/buskers/games congregating near the benches area. That street is nice but could use some more programming. Paris-style!

    Toronto Toronto | U of T: Academic Wood Tower | 77m | 14s | U of T | Patkau

    imagine Toronto's architectural vernacular moves from bland glass to bland wood. That would at least give my eyes a break haha.

    Toronto Toronto | Bathurst Quay Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | Kearns Mancini

    Although beautiful, it's too stuffy and conservative. Plus it feels tiny. Not much counterculture or an art scene (despite it's musical and culturally rich history whose impact is still felt, I feel like it's become more hallowed out). Doesn't appeal to me as a young artist but can tolerate...

    Toronto Toronto | Bathurst Quay Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | Kearns Mancini

    Toronto Toronto | Mirvish Village (Honest Ed's Redevelopment) | 85.04m | 26s | Westbank | Henriquez Partners

    They loved the concept and really felt like it would fit into this development. Is exactly what the team at Mirvish was looking for. Either than that I don’t have any updates.

    Toronto Toronto | 2485 Eglinton Ave West | 150.6m | 46s | Cityzen | gh3

    I’m at a loss for words, been askin myself this for awhile. I don’t know. You let me know when you find out because I am so irretreivably angry at city hall.

    Toronto Toronto | Regent Park: Phases 4 and 5 | 134.1m | 39s | Tridel | Karakusevic Carson Architects

    I think we all will wake up in a very different Toronto pretty soon with all of these kinds of renewal projects. Love to see how our city is changing, and how oftentimes neighbouring developments get inspired or pushed to create more thoughtfully designed communities and builds.

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    Let me know if I can be of help.

    Toronto Toronto | Regent Park: Phases 4 and 5 | 134.1m | 39s | Tridel | Karakusevic Carson Architects

    I know so many artists (musicians, performers, rappers, actors) that have become so successful, as well as people in my circle that grew up in these few apartment blocks in Regent. While i'm not sad to see these manhattan-style 'projects' go in exchange for beautiful Danish buildings...

    Toronto's Culture Production Boom

    I called open studio yesterday - as a printmaker the loss of this would be devastating. There is nowhere else in TO to print with a membership.

    Vaughan Toronto | Festival Condominiums | 189.05m | 59s | Menkes | Arcadis

    I had some family visiting from Alberta, and they were quite blown away by the cluster of high-rises in these centres surrounding Toronto, while flying into Pearson. They are not used to seeing many tall towers outside of downtown Calgary and on this scale. Had to remind them that the greater...

    Zoning Reform Ideas

    I think geary is going to be the next Ossington. I was recently in the artsy Bushwick neighbourhood in Brooklyn, NY and it had a lot of similarities to Geary. Very ugly but part of the charm.

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

    What a hunk. I see some interesting discourse with that man whispering into his ear at the bottom-most photo...

    Toronto Cosburn Transit-Oriented Community | 100.4m | 29s | Infrastructure ON | SvN

    Love this overall but jheez looking at the renders this solidifies to me that the East-enders really need to step up their fashion game 😂 okay.. Leslieville is the exception.

    Toronto Toronto | Parliament Slip | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto | West 8

    Also - i'm not sure I am loving the canopy around the pools, blocking the view of the pool from the waterfront promenade. It seems like a barrier and this portion of the proposal looks kind of drab from a design standpoint.
