Edit: I also meant to say, personally, I would withhold such statements until a building is actually finished, and I don't mean to be rude here either. For the record, half the new buildings in Vancouver are usually judged as being ugly or uninspired too.

No, I agree - I commented on this project a while ago which is why I didn't bother to reiterate. I was actually just teasing the forum by saying it was ugly (with a happy face). I do think it's 'ugly', but I was playing around... seeing as how I was following a bunch of positive comments.
And you're right, you can't fully know the success of a design until it's built. At the same time, I find some humour in being called-out on *jokingly* calling this design "ugly" when it's not built yet forumers are mercilessly tearing the APP project (note: also unbuilt) apart in another thread.
With that sad, I think this will be my last post on the St.John's sub-forum for the time being. It has become clear that I cannot have an opinion on development in this City without being incessantly antagonized or sarcastically spoken down to (regardless of the topic, discussion, thread) by Poscdoc and Jeddy et al.
