my question is how those brick screens will be maintained. how do you even clean the exterior window? not to mention, birds will probably nest nicely within. nice design choice, but maintenance nightmare in the longterm.
Remember the architect's website had some really hilarious quotes and typos, and references to eggplants or something silly.

Oh where in the world is this building rendering floating, certainly...
Interesting they are only proposing bike parking in the underground, and only car-share parking spaces at the back. Would like to see more projects like this across the city that cater to active lifestyles and walkable communities.
I'm confused, won't 160 Front St.W. which seems to be underway effectively block the elevator concept from being viewed as rendered?
PS> I love what BIG is showing though :)
It's to ensure the building meets the City's Bird Friendly guidelines. The first 12m of transparent portions of the building must be treated to mitigate collisions.
I like the "pinstripe" It's refreshing and different from the 'chicken pox' dots.
