Cambridge is the latest municipality that we have begun to create database files for. This should be done in the next short while!

The art piece along the front is actually quite large, and is by daily tous les jours.
During the day the mirrored panels hide the hulking parking podium, and at night a light animates around the shape of an arch.

Covering a monstrosity with another monstrosity.
That curved mirrored glass facade is tacky and bizarrely out of place. It should belong on a casino or 90s shopping mall entrance.
Why can't they do something sympathetic to the history of the site and neighbouring buildings? It's just a hot mess of different unappealing architectural styles with no rhyme or reason.

Agree 100% it makes zero sense to me. Especially when they did so good with heritage restoration.
I don’t even care about the towers but im hoping for a podium reclad in 10 years

The entire region of Waterloo really needs to get some better architecture because this is just horrendous. Hopefully some of the newer projects by Vanmar, Cambridge Mill and the Park/Vic project make it better. HIP and IN8s developments are all so horrendous.
Wow, trasharama! That sets a new low bar for built environment crap… so I had the add to the record here, and not just let a couple of emojis suffice.

Looks interesting.
I wonder whether it will flash with the music from concerts that'll be in the plaza?

There's also an 'interactive' musical pavement called RiverLines:

Doesn’t look horrible but why neon blue light? It looks kinda tacky…

Little night tour. Though this really only features the parts I stopped to capture, otherwise theres not much to see when not in use for events...
I wish we'd see animated signs more often now that LED neon is so common, too bad cities are usually too afraid of it. (I realise a photo doesn't really explain what I mean, but alas.)
The signage design around is a step above, and the quality I expect to see at Mirvish Village.

I know that there are a lot of opinions about this artwork but I am liking it.

Another ‘small’ addition to the Gaslight complex. Little Prince Cinema, out of Stratford, is opening up here according to IG.

Some photos from the other day, since everything is open and pretty well-established now.
New signage on both Grand Ave corners of the podium. Bottom sign is digital and flips between all the tenants.
Really love how they dress up the Foundry around the holidays.
Podiums are still yucky. Even if they'd clad it in a similar design language that the new-build commercial has (Rego Team space), it would've been better.
The public space is also done up with some festive decor.
The vibes are just impeccable (because the podium is hidden).
Walkway between the square and the Grand Ave access.
This is where the walkway goes.
From the garage entrance.
