gosh, I thought the onion dome would be curved at the back. it would be nice to get a view of it from the upper floors of Scotia Plaza.

so it's not a dome at all, not even a 1/4 dome.

I feel the same way. The onion dome fails to impress.

It's pretty good infill.

finally now we're going to see the top most part of the tower finished

I rather like the onion dome myself. My prediction: in the coming years this building will be much more favourably regarded by Torontonians and visitors. Might take awhile, but I do believe the criticism will melt away.

I doubt it. People only rip on bad design more with age as the building slowly begins to depreciate. You tell me if you think this building will look better brand new, or with 20 years of dirt, soot, wear and tear applied to it. This is the same reason why so many people despise modernism today. The buildings are currently all worn down and dirty making their design flaws even more apparent. It's the same reason why people in the 50's and 60's were so hot to trot on tearing everything built before WWII down.

This is one of the more unattractive buildings of this size I've seen outside of Dubai and that's saying something considering Chicago has possibly the ugliest 900-1000' building: 311 S Wacker.
