It will be in the heart of Little Italy on College St, but this is just a rendering. A very good rendering, I might add....

You find this project aesthetically unpleasant? I'm afraid you are in a minority there, vid... you are not a big fan of buildings in Toronto, I take it.....

I love the building. It's just that this design is starting to become over used, imo. It doesn't represent much. It has little meaning. It's just "cool looking infill".


It isn't good enough for Toronto. Toronto deserves something more inspired, and more inspiring.


But it is just infill. So two points!

This design is starting to become overused??!?!? Where, may I ask? Have you got any examples of this overuse?
Or, just plain use for that matter?

Vid, this design is few and far between.

Here is a larger image, and the architectural firm can take credit for putting up some of the best buildings in the GTA such as the Morgan and BMW Toronto.
