Um what?

I'm assuming that's sarcasm unless transparent is a colour now.

I wasnt quite sure what to expect from delta, but so far i really like how it fits in with the skyline.

Does that box on top of the PwC tower have a purpose or is it just for show?

Washroom!

Um what?

I'm quite sure you understand what i was commenting on, or maybe not.

Did you mean quality of cladding, just equating green glass with general crap? Because it's certainly not "refreshing" for the area.

Could be just to hide the show.

Wow, weeds growing on top of PWC already. So Toronto!

Its actually a green roof, it just looks patchy from the winter. So Toronto!

Doze are weeds.

^^ A green roof doesn't necessarily mean it has to look like the 18th green. In Canada, grass does turn brown over the winter months.

It is there to negate the urban heat island effect, and for tax credits. aesthetics are secondary when it comes to inaccessible green roofs on tall buildings, visible to very few.

And growing weeds and native plants allows them to pretty much leave the green roof to its own devices--no water or fertilizer necessary.

I didn't mean to rock the green boat. The effort is there and I am sure it will improve in time. We've all seen lawns fail on the ground.
