They captured the sound of that woman having an orgasm particularly clearly.

Are you perhaps the red-clad gentleman in the video about 1:06 in?
He is!

...funny how the winners' names were not actually spoken, just flashed up on screen. All speeches ended at that point, much talking ensued amongst those gathered, losing architects fled...

Out of curiosity, would Rogers be the 5th Pritzker Prize winner to build something in Toronto?

Brutal.
They should level the North Market and make it a park. North Market function could be moved south of the South Market to help get some people south of Front.

I have a feeling you won't like what people will say next...

The walkways bridging the east and west sides of the courtroom levels - which cut through the atrium like the walkways at Corus - are a nice touch.

To a chorus of boos I say... this fussy barn does not belong in the market area ... at all. Nice view of St. Lawrence Hall. The rest will look rusty and dated in 10 years. I look forward to the 2020 competition.

Of the two designs - Orange and Red - I felt that KPMB's outward-facing gallerias were a less efficient use of the comparatively narrow width of the site, and given the fairly humble purpose they serve as waiting rooms or circulation spaces outside the court rooms not worthy of the big statement that these giant curved "parentheses" make on their behalf. I realize that they are a take on the curved roof of the South Market, and that they reference Gehry's Galleria Italia and Alsop's Filmport, but what decided me on the Rogers approach was that more of practical worth is achieved by internalizing the big statement with the north/south atrium while at the same time designing an exterior for the building that is sympathetic to the earlier historic buildings including St. Lawrence Hall. The Rogers design is simply cleverer than the rest, and offers more.

Also, US, I spoke to you for a while about the red design at the public viewing. Nice to meet you.
