    Toronto Galleria III | 112.4m | 31s | Almadev | Hariri Pontarini

    I can't find the drawings at the moment, but I don't think it's either of those. They had proposed these perforated metal panels up and down the building in strips, IIRC. It was just a cool/unique detail that I was looking forward to seeing. I think most of the original design remains intact...

    Bloordale Village

    Toronto Aqualuna at Bayside | 61.87m | 18s | Tridel | 3XN
