    Toronto Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    I've done those same sort hydrology experiments at Sauble Beach! Especially fun earlier in the summer when there's still enough rain water.

    Toronto The One | 328.4m | 91s | Mizrahi Developments | Foster + Partners

    Did you do these in Sketchup?

    Getting to watch this ground floor slab get poured should be pretty interesting (and take our minds off of hearsay for the time being).

    Toronto Scotiabank Arena Renovations | ?m | ?s | MLSE | BBB

    It's their brand mark, but not their brand colours. They're using their marketing colours (for posters, ads, etc.) for the main brand which is somewhat unique (I presume they feel pretty confident their brand mark is recognizable enough without the typically red/white). Per their brand...

    Weird to put that much emphasis on a logo that isn't even in brand colours...

    Toronto Mirvish Village (Honest Ed's Redevelopment) | 85.04m | 26s | Westbank | Henriquez Partners

    Would they even be allowed to show a Muji in renders if it wasn’t confirmed?

    Well, since it appears the show is back on the road....let's refresh where we're at. (Scroll wayyyyyyyyyyy down)

    Toronto Concord Sky | 299m | 85s | Concord Adex | Kohn Pedersen Fox

    The MoMA in New York had a great exhibit of architectural models but closed that portion of the gallery while they finished up the Jean Nouvel extension. If it reopens, highly recommend checking it out! The Architecture Museum in Paris is basically heaven if you like architectural models, it's...

    Toronto CIBC SQUARE | 241.39m | 50s | Hines | WilkinsonEyre

    Prepare yourselves for a page or two of green roof talks ?

    Toronto Concord Sky | 299m | 85s | Concord Adex | Kohn Pedersen Fox

    My plastics class in school was taught by an architectural model maker - insane levels of detail and ingenuity goes into making these. Utmost respect for those in that profession.

    I think those renders are a little out of date for the final park layout, but you're correct, that's the formwork for the park features.

    Toronto The Well | 174.03m | 46s | RioCan | Hariri Pontarini

    I love how through the staging of this project we get to see lower level construction that normally would've been hidden from view. Fascinating to watch.

    Toronto Forma | 308m | 84s | Great Gulf | Gehry Partners

    Aware of that, but you could make them a) easier to find for new users or b) providing them as an email or modal when someone signs up. If there are rules to enforce, users shouldn't have to go looking for said rules. Clearly if there is an issue of new users breaking forum rules (and...

    Toronto One Delisle | 155m | 44s | Slate | Studio Gang

    It's the affective use of simple materials that makes it interesting. The form is simply a rotated floorplate (same as One Delisle), clad simply but elegantly.

    Toronto CIBC SQUARE | 241.39m | 50s | Hines | WilkinsonEyre

    Yeah we have a ways to go. Crown extends beyond the top of the core by a bit (~20m). I suspect the crown will use the same steel as the southern "towers" crown, so that will be a good indicator. Edit: To add...the reason the steel on the photos on the last page look like the crown is because...

    Toronto Forma | 308m | 84s | Great Gulf | Gehry Partners

    Perhaps there needs to be a clear and obvious "Welcome to UT" messaging with some forum rules. We ask for certain things but I'd hesitate to say the current website makes it clear and obvious what those things are.

    Toronto KING Toronto | 57.6m | 16s | Westbank | Bjarke Ingels Group

    Let's hope. I've loved BIG's work but choosing to work with Bolsonaro and his government is such a boneheaded move. Taints any attempt to say they design for the betterment of people. Such a shame...

    Toronto One Delisle | 155m | 44s | Slate | Studio Gang

    Studio Gang just finished a building here in SF. It certainly isn't the craziest of buildings, technically speaking (just a rotated floorplate), but I think they do a really good job of approaching buildings, especially residential, with interesting cladding, without relying too much on all...
