This is what angles do for the urban fabric. It creates a visually interesting and inviting space. Makes pedestrian friendly spaces by necessity. Creates a distinctive and attractive location. And increases the sense of urban-ness and density by breaking up the streetwall and endless street...

This really is a fantastic project. In fact, Toronto has a lot of fantastic projects, built, under construction and proposed. Im the first to crap on this city for having terrible architecture, dirt cheap buildings and more. The reality is every city must have more inexpensive infill. I’d go...

Saving the best for last, my girlfriend grabbed the most photos of this one by far. Good taste imo, because this is one of my favourites. June 25: And one last one from afar.

Just a single shot of this one peaking out. From my girlfriend. June 25:

Another couple photos thanks to my girlfriend. June 25:

Credit to girlfriend again (yes I've suggested she have her own account lmao) July 4:

Just a single shot courtesy of my girlfriend for this one. June 25:

Haha, that just might be the plan! Not only does she take pictures for me. I wanted to go into architecture but couldn't do the math, now she's an engineer and travels all over Toronto to look at buildings for her JOB! So I just get to live my nerdy love of buildings vicariously through her...

Ohh I know! 😂

More excellent photos my girlfriend took for me to share! June 25:

That is indeed what I was looking at!

My girlfriend took a bunch of photos for me to share while she was in Toronto From June 25: Plus one photo of it peaking out from afar

My girlfriend went on a weekend trip to Toronto and I gave her a list of buildings to look out for lol. She was kinda enough to take a bunch of photos for a whole lot of different sites. From June 25: I am fairly confident this is the Forma site but I've actually never been by it in person.

From my friend on June 15: They're a little out of date now but it's a bit of a different angle so still wanted to share anyway.

Another building my friend sent me photos of several weeks ago that I hadn't gotten around to posting. I am 99% I have the right thread for this lol. June 15:

A couple of old photos a friend had taken and sent me to post but I subsequently forgot about. June 7:

Height geeks like supertalls ok. :)

Not sure where to put this but I suppose this is the best place. https://www.thestar.com/tr/news/crime/2023/06/28/stabbing-at-university-of-waterloo-sends-three-to-hospital.html?rf

I find that disappointing. Call me a NIMBY (I live in Cambridge) but this area does have character, which is not something there is a ton of across the board in Toronto. I have also long said Toronto needs to address the missing middle to solve its housing crisis. These units simply won’t do...

I’m with 42 on this. If executed right it will maintain the excellent quality of the heritage structure while also doing something that will catch the eye and match the surroundings. The kink really is what makes this project though. Subtract that and this is nothing imo.
