^^^ That's not "towers-connected-with-sky-bridge" and you know it. You're just being pissy. Those aren't towers and those aren't sky-bridges. It's a different form, a stacked-building form. I was referring specifically to tall towers connected with sky-bridges, which is a typology I don't like. I'm entitled to my opinion.

My first impression was the same as Condovo. I’m not fond of the bridge either. However I could be convinced with more details. Aside from that this proposal is very very exiting. It’s wonderful that the city is spreading east into an otherwise undeveloped area.
 
Does this garbage know no limits?!

"London-based Foster + Partners is a kind of Georges Braque or Giorgio de Chirico of the design world, whose cubist-influenced designs include the Kuwait International Airport and The One skyscraper at Yonge and Bloor – Canada’s tallest building at 85-storeys. In total, six leading architectural firms collaborated on 3C, including Toronto’s KPMB Architects, Montreal’s Claude Cormier + Associates and New York’s SHoP Architects. "

Huh? Nevermind that F+P isn't Cubist - just what is Cubist about the Kuwaiti terminal, for one?

I got the impression that whoever wrote that F+P piece simply doesn't know what cubist means.

Wow yup they got that wrong. Far from cubist.

I’m all for a Parade 2.0 kinda tower maybe with all round pieces. Round towers with a round bridge?

Current model is just... meh.

Many big box stores are actually built to last 20-30 years and their owners hope the land will have gotten more valuable so they can 'move on' - at a profit Frankly, we might have done better to have a HD there!
 
will this project interfere with the don lands redevelopment or is it going to be incorporated into it?
