    Toronto TeaHouse 501 Yonge Condominiums | 170.98m | 52s | Lanterra | a—A

    i stopped watching the video after five (5) seconds of that masked person appearance; i just couldn't take him seriously. anyways, this project sure has polarised the opinions of a few people here. which, i suppose, is a good thing for a forum.

    Toronto Aura at College Park | 271.87m | 78s | Canderel | Graziani + Corazza

    exactly. lessons learned from the Great Hanshin Earthquake of 1995 include having extremely strict building codes to ensure new buildings are very good at handling seismic energy. for a population of 12 million people, there are a surprisingly few high-rise structures in Tokyo; most of which...

    John Street Revitalization

    Greenwich Village is a largely residential area. Montmartre was an actual small town up until the late 19th century when it was absorbed into Paris. John St., in Toronto, isn't even remotely like the two aforementioned places and, as such, the use of 'small town' is misplaced.

    John Street Revitalization

    perhaps, although i do think the term 'small town' is misplaced here. from what i've seen this project is meant to promote pedestrian traffic in a relatively dense urban location.
