Sure looks like she is campaigning to me.

We have been stung.

The cladding already looks worn and falling apart.

Amen. Preach my friend!

The attention to detail is amazing (and throw in some decent materials like wood and coloured glass and metal, and it is amazing that all this was accomplished for a public building). This demonstrates that modern does not have to equal bland. (ADRM, thank you very much for the photos...

It is a whole pile of bland! Glass and aluminum bland. Very lazy and probably an inexpensive option bland. While I will be happy that the new building at least acknowledges that it sits on a street, I am lamenting the fact that we are getting the equivalent of a suburban office building...

Well it's tall. Its design? Meh. Worthy of a background building around Jarvis and Dundas.

The SLC redevelopment is, for me, one of the most interesting and exciting projects this decade for the city (here's hoping it is completed this decade).

Yes, I was about to comment that the building looked fairly decent again. Alas though, I think those are older (out of date) renderings/

Yes I watched it too. My opinion did not change - I like the Hariri Pontarini proposal - and I grew to like this proposal even more (the programming space is much better than I thought and the team appeared to be knowledgeable and professional in their presentation, details and answers to...

They never had anything anyone wanted. That is why they are gone. That is why Walmart took their market share after only a few years. lol (the most consistent thing about Zellers was that they would not have what they were advertising in their flyer that week.)

Rebrand The Bay at Centrepoint (Steeles and Yonge) as a Zellers, keep the same merchandise, and call it a day. No one will notice. Or care. ;)

Yes, I am not even sure Simons can fill all that space. I can see Simons maybe taking 2 floors and the third floor goes into the pool of leasable office space. What a difference to when Eaton's was 10 floors of shopping. (Or maybe convert the main level to further mall retail and use the...

Quiet boxes that will serve the needs of the curators of modern art, without distracting from Gehry...or anything else? That's alright with me. (the gallery spaces look and sound great and are much needed. This is will make this already great building, even better for art lovers.)

I do not add much weight to the various Scott Street Plaza Designs, as I think that will be the first to go, once a budget is determined. At best, I can see them saying "we will hold off on this for now and get to it later", which will be followed by another competition or something at some...

Hey moderators, maybe it's time for a poll (built into the thread). ;)

The trees that are presently there, are having a difficult time surviving. I am not sure a "green oasis" is viable. And I am not sure it is needed or wanted. The stage does indeed get used - it just has a horribly ugly canopy on it. Change the canopy and we can have a thing of beauty and...

First, I wish I could better understand good theatre design and the needs/wishes of the arts community. I think this is almost paramount and as a casual observer looking at PDF's, I am wholly unqualified to judge on the functionality of the theatre and art spaces. I am interested in hearing the...

I am not sure what they believe. I am just tired of people accusing the "city" of cheapening a design, when it is almost always the fault of the developer.

Where is the evidence the "city" neutered any design elements or materials?
