Hmm I think not but it is a big blank wall... Also that is Wolf in net, right?!

small detail the average person wouldn't notice or appreciate....moving all food/washrooms to the inside walls which does 2 things...allows the concourse to be open to the street on 3 sides, and provides an intimate bowl feel with no daylight at concourse level.
that end (which faces stampede trail) looks purposely undesigned...as does a few elements of the bowl. My guess is those areas will get more attention now, but based on the exterior does not appear to be a window

Looks great. Nothing entirely groundbreaking, but undeniably unique.

Looks like the upper sections of the exterior might be white metal, and the flames are just projected onto them, lol

Yeah I’ve been bitter about how it all went down, but I honestly was hoping for something not too gimmicky that looked decent. All I see in the renderings is the LED / lighting gimmick like in the HP Laserjet design. If it ends up looking like that image in real life then I’ll eat crow. I’m more interested in the shape of the structure than how it’s lit. The proportions look weird to me. The only hint of realism is this street level image:
This gives more of a clue about materials and form without flames all over it. I’m happy they incorporated the old building even if it’s a facadectomy. I can’t tell but the material at the top kind of looks like the metal mesh on the Shaw building on 32nd Ave. That could look okay, but not sure how boxy or bloated it will look in broad daylight.
Dammit I sound like WS ( I mean maestro)!

People are starting to call it “the Fireplace”
Well, TBH, it's better than expected, and for the most part I like it. Maybe I was prepared to be underwhelmed, but at any rate, it's better than the last design. It's nice to see some interior bowl renderings.

If the upper part has 3D mesh mimicking flames that would be nice. The higher res images look a bit better.

I think we can assume its going to have metal paneling like BMO (rogers place), with fire curvature panels fronting it, with uplighting at night. I'll take anything better than that as a win, but unlikely.

I was thinking The Wall of Flame.
If there is a way to have dynamic up lighting, so it moves around giving the impression of live flames that would be cool.

It's just projected fire on a grey metal exterior. You can just see it at the top of the 12th Ave street front image
