Great batches of updates caltrane!

18 York looks amazing! my favorite is the corners cause they're just so sharp and simple! It's like a giant ice-cube!

I've never really liked the way the glass looks on telus... its just too pale/greyish, somethings not right

Crystal blu's looking great on the side thats now fully clad!

Lumiere and ROCP EPICNESS by Androiduk at UT!

ROCP looks INCREDIBLE in that shot if you ask me... and the way these towers look together is stunning! Great composition from rocp (tallest looking) to eaton centre towers! (shortest lookin there)...
The west facing sides of both ROCP towers look stunning for some reason in that lighting!. these towers look really grand in this shot! very new york like! powerful looking towers if you ask me!

Seems as though MLS is getting occupied now and has been for a while. Great pictures nonetheless.

no offense to steveve and his love affair of hieght but, ROCP looks incredibly clunky in that shot . MLS, Telus, and 18 York, on the other hand, look great.

Coldrsx · #**3209** Posted **Jun 7, 2010, 2:59 PM**

MLS looks down right colossal

I kinda like RoCP as well. From a distance they are acceptable.

Plus, I always see them in my mind's eye, taken to their logical conclusion:

haha!!! LEGENDARY photoshop traynor

!! ^^^

ROCP is a solid skyscraper... its not ENTIRELY bad though right?

Gresto · #**3214** Posted **Jun 7, 2010, 9:27 PM**

Well done. They coalesce fairly seamlessly.

Traynor · #**3215** Posted **Jun 7, 2010, 9:37 PM**

^Hehehe Thanks guys it was just a quick 'Shop job. I was going to do both towers but it starts looking like Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur:

steveve · #**3216** Posted **Jun 7, 2010, 9:48 PM**

Maybe one day they'll actually built towers on top of ROCP just like they did with 155 cumberland

!...

It looks really cool Traynor!.. i would imagine those towers would be in the top 5 tallest in Toronto/Canada...

WhipperSnapper · #**3217** Posted **Jun 8, 2010, 10:22 AM**

Just saw the comment by Davin comparing 18 York to some Oakville business park. Is this guy on crack?!? Nothing urks me more than the box/not a box crowd that can't see past something as infantile as shape.

I find RoCP looks best up close from streetlevel. The window wall isn't half bad and they are massively tall. From any distance, they look too bulky for what they are and the abrupt concrete crown is pretty nasty.
