I think that they are getting ready to pave the plaza and Maude install the artwork. Taken 7 December.

Hahaha. Would someone just get the instruction booklet?

I just wanna pretend that someone is looking at Limberlost and changing some minds and orders.

Noice...but the cladding needs to move beyond the test paneling. Just saying.

^Just to add that the roof of the historic building will be a patio for the adjacent space with the tall columns now coloured blue.

Curvy door stuffs

Hope they find something interesting to do with this.

This is to catch welders sparks right?

This building is trying to be too many things at once. There are a number of questionable choices on the residential portion but my latest favourite thing to hate is the precast vertical elements at the first two storeys which are co-planar with the brick above (which they visually clash with) but are not done in the same material. Either inset them or just bring the material above (precast brick in this case) right down to grade.

A reveal or channel is an architect’s best tool IMO, especially when working with a shallow facade with little depth to play with (ie. condos). Material transitions that happen abruptly often look poorly considered.

(And the materiality here is schizophrenic to begin with.)
