Slowly but surely, more people are admitting that this tower isn't as bad as they were all predicting. I'm pretty sure the general public likes this building but I guess we'll have to wait for next years Pug Awards, to see how popular it is. I'm sure it will become a Toronto icon and you'll see pictures of it in every tourism guide. (and Youtube vacation vids)

The Pugs have been discontinued.
 
The Pugs have been discontinued.

Really ? Why ? I thought it had a lot of traction with the public.

UT should consider carrying it on ?
 
No to mention the way people vote for the Pugs, Aura would perform very poorly.* No question there. A nice crown or light feature does not good architecture or a popular/attractive building make.

*If you disagree, take a look at other years' rankings.

Wow, powerful evidence there, man. Sign me up for the design-build Kool-Aid.
 
Aura has grown on me now as well after seeing it on a regular basis. It looks better from certain directions than it does from others, but on the whole it's ok in the skyline. It could easily have been a lot better, but it's not the abomination that a lot of people online are making it out to be.
