This has to be the worst proposal I've seen in Edmonton to date. I was shocked when I saw a building like Panache being built in our core; now I feel like I went on an all night bender last night as I'll be dry heaving all day today after seeing this..
What a letdown. There is nothing they could do to improve this design - except maybe light the paper it was drawn on, on fire, stomp on it, and give the idea to some other developer.
Hello 1980!!! Nice to see you again! What's that, you never left?? Must've been lingering in the shadows all this time!
We want to improve our core by making it a center for inspiration, sustainability and make landmarks to showcase our city in prosperous times.
One only needs to look south to see THIS
And realize how disappointing this tower is.
Please god don't let it be built.
EDIT: OMG someone actually had the balls to release this to the media!! Haha
Not only does the tower portion itself resemble a bad 1980's Cartoon; it appears to have been designed with total randomness in mind - the colors, the podium, the square corners, the punched windows, ... god only knows what materials will be used. God help us all if they dare to use stucco :|. It honestly looks like the @b0rtion we call ARLINGTON with the appearance of curves.
Don't take the candy, it's poison!! ~~~ NOOOOO
