I love the last pic, it almost made me forget about the one above it.
After reading the comments here, I thought I would go take a look for myself, and in a completely un-'saugian move, I walked over through the bleak, windswept landscape. I certainly understand the comments that have been made, but... I decided I like it. Yes, it won't win any architectural awards, but its far better conceived than so so many projects in the GTA. The gargoyles are somewhat jarring, but I found them fun, I like the roof so much better than, say, the plopped on hats of the towers in North York, this one actually looks like it belongs there. In short, this building won't enter my list of favourites, but then again, it was built to a price, to appeal to a wide audience that wants architectural pastiche, and I think it achieves what it sets out to do admirably, unlike so many other projects. I also can sympathize with those who wish for more, however.
No idea what the second one was.
