9 March 2013: I'm really fond of the way the concrete "bunker" look contrasts with the aA towers. Seriously. I don't like the glazing though...
I just noticed that the Art Deco section of Women's College Hospital is a registered heritage property (http://www.historicplaces.ca/en/rep-reg/place-lieu.aspx?id=7738&pid=0). How did they get permission to demolish it?
Ughhh. Who on earth is running Women's College? I hadn't realized that the main building will be demolished, and only to clear room for a park, too? How is this possible? How does this make any sense? Is a park more beneficial to the hospital than a big building? And a parking garage bunker is going to replace the buildings? I don't understand the logic at all. And why wouldn't the building be protected by heritage designation? What a disaster. Looking back through the thread, I just learned they destroyed another big old building in this renovation. This must be the most historically destructive downtown development in a long time.
