Comparing green roofs and cladding. (63 Front St E, The Berczy)
So what are the death spikes for? It can’t be another layer.
Another safety rail.

So much for “can’t see the green roof from the ground”. Love the look of it, hope it truly offers the promise returns ie cooling effect!

For me, this has gone from what might have been a slick bit of modernism to a quirky little thing. Its detailing and textures, its curious colours against the grey (the orange, the blue and green of the roof) and its moderate scale all work unexpectedly together. In a good way. For its size, it's always got something to reveal.

It’s not as dramatic as OCAD, but like that build I feel like it’s gonna be fine once it’s open and used. I think the orange fins will weather, and/or end up with ads or art plastic wrapped on at some point.

Green and orange compliment each other well, but I can't look at the building from the east/west and not see this

Here's a closer look at what I believe is called, Palmer's Sedum. It'll be a whole new look up there come autumn, not that I'm trying to rush things...

That looks great! Almost worth the wait for it to open. Almost!

Sedums aren't my area of expertise by a longshot, but I thought Palmer was only hardy to USDA zone 8 (up to 11) which is to say it would not like Toronto's winters.

This sounds whack but it kind of reminds of teletubbies. The futurism combined with these perfectly manicured green "hills". I'm not sure I'll ever be able to unsee it.
