Who at a-A decided their design ethos should be "we passionately hate pedestrians, and we want walking past our buildings to be a lifeless and miserable experience"?

Maybe time to rebrand the company from a-A ...to A-I.

What’s really maddening is I believe if you were to sit have a conversation with every individual architect at any of our banal local firms they would recognize work like this is subpar and destructive to the city… but somehow after design by committee and accountants they consistently churn out crap like this

I'm mostly on board w/this statement; though I have to say, the crap turned out by KirKor consistently leaves me w/the impression that very few there would recognize the problem; you'd have to think 'the committee' would catch it sometimes.

There is often a lack of creativity, at problem solving and even intelligent VE'ing at play; there is also sometimes a dedication to a particular design ethos (aA, would be 'cool, streamlined, modernism) that can also be a stumbling block.)
Let's also admit the role that (some) City staff play in reading guidelines too officiously; but then equally acknowledge, that the industry often doesn't feel the impetus to persuade the City to be more flexible.

A report to the next meeting of Preservation Board suggests a Settlement Offer may be near for this appealed to the OLT proposal.
It would also indicate a change in the architectural scheme here:

This was before Council as a Settlement Offer at the June meeting and was adopted: We're now at 20s here.

Wish these two little heritage buildings were being incorporated too! I think it would add plenty of character if brought back to its brown/red brick facade
The OLT has ratified the settlement proposal with an interim order.

Same, I would rather they be saved than the other building. They painted it black so of course it no longer has heritage value and cant be saved from the paint lol
