KPF was *technically * involved with Parade...but you can see it was Concorded to all hell.

Well, I think we all knew this was coming the moment they bought this project, sadly.

Concord is the cheapest builder I have ever seen in my life.

Ugly, clumsy, heavy, overworked and a lack of cohesive design but, other than that, it’s worthy of a C-.

I think the new design is trying to do too many things. The simplistic elegance is gone.

aA and Concord Adex is a perfect match for an ugly building.

Didn't the project always have balconies on the east side?
The article also says the KPF remains involved. a-A was always the architect of record here, it makes sense that they are more involved as the project moves through construction. That's not anything different than if Cresford had built YSL.

aA’s architecture is better than KPF in my opinion when it comes to proportions, refinement, elegance, not to mention well ahead of the second and third tier ‘award winning’ local firms that do a lot of work in Toronto. aA was recently featured in the architecture book Canadian Architecture: Evolving a Cultural Identity, a curated collection of quality architecture in Canada.

Well. Blew through my lowest expectations. The thing’s exterior looks like a cheese grater.

If this is a rorschach test, seeing a cheese grater is better than seeing a camel foot given the notch at top....
