The glass looks great in this picture! This building is going to change color as the sky changes color throughout the day.

The reason this building bothers me so much I think, is because I see other cities in the world building very cool buildings and other projects on their waterfronts.
This thread is a good example of the problem when issues are so relentlessly cornered into false 'either-or' polarizations (grey or colour, spectacle or no spectacle, boxy or curvey, within the 'Toronto context' or not etc). It's disingenuous and counterproductive. The heart of the issue here is Diamond's vision of architecture for this site, and whether you're for it or not. I for one feel it is perfectly reasonable to criticize Corus without resorting to false dichotomies.
you're either for Diamond's vision or against it.
Yes, but it's rare that they're nothing but "really cool buildings and other projects"--I'm sure the locals in those "other cities" could pick out their own Corus-equivalent bete noires.
And it isn't like Toronto's waterfront is on the verge of being built up with nothing but Coruses--even Jack Diamond, I reckon, would shudder at the thought...

I'm talking about within the central waterfront...
