There's no copyright on building names, they are just names afterall. The names are just used for marketing purposes so there's a reason for them to be distinct while they are selling product. After a few years though most building names are forgotten as most people just refer to them by their...

Excellent, was afraid this one had died.

Look to the Design Exchange to see how another ill-defined yet well intentioned cultural space can go horribly wrong.

Interesting, and the site mentions KPMB as the architects.

But you can argue that that lower buildings end up with larger floor plates than point towers and as a result block more views ...

That website and logo reminds me of 'the star of downtown.' I think this is going to be a bad one...

This could go either way. Very hard to tell from those drawings and Quadrangle is hit or miss. Still, hiding University Plaza from the last available side is a good thing.

Slightly off topic but I just heard that the MOMA's Tim Burton exhibition is coming to TIFF's Lightbox this fall...

^The literal net strikes again. I would be curious to know the difference between a steel and concrete framed building in terms of wind sway. I would think that concrete structures are inherently more rigid than steel...I doubt you would notice much movement either way.

Looks like the trees will do a good job hiding this thing during the warmer months. What a dud.

The drawing reads 'Artscape Entrance' for the performance space. That doesn't really answer your question but it gives us an idea of who and how it might be run.

Cassius i misread your post but i agree with you anyway. The original building would be fine if not for all the abuse it has endured.

They have done that...it's called Radio City though.

That's right, I remember that now. Odd how the names are the same. Maybe we can expect a Barn condo next?

I agree, I think it's a handsome building and a good scale for the street. I wish there were more of these going up on our main streets. 5-8 floors make for better streets than the usual 2 or 3.

Wasn't there a club called Five next door in what is now a condo called Eleven?

^ Grounded?

That just proves why rebuilding is such a pointless exercise. That thing is an embarrassment.

^Well it's better grey than beige.

That ad is idiotic. I thought it was a joke.
