If this city were already made entirely of glass, then maybe I'd get it, but even in Vancouver some of it's nicest curtain walled buildings are newer and darker.

Green and sometimes even blue have been somewhat passe in other major cities, whereas a darker look is perhaps coming back in fashion.
Well, I can easily get on board with blue, as Dcondo is very pretty, but green screams mid 90s to me.

Don't give brutalism an inch, somehow, somehow it takes a mile and the radisson apologists show up. Heaven forbid I point out how ugly the Richardson building is... never mind Fairmont.
