Calatrava's galleria and heritage square are simply (largely unknown) masterpieces. His little footbridge in Humber Bay Parks, pure delight (hidden treasure).
I think Ry High was involved in discussions years back with Calatrava for a tower on Church Street... alas nothing.
So who do want to work here besides the clutch of super firms already here?
Me wants more Calatrava.
It's not the easy fit stylistically (and budget) and have no idea where and what.... but maybe the still blank canvas in the Portlands could be an opportunity. A modest, but unforgettable tower and spectacular inside/outside pedestrian space that acknowleges the water. A beacon/celebration of one the greatest painters in this era. Planning, politics and a plethora of other barriers not considered ;-)
A signature development to lead the remarkable transformation underway.
More Calatrava. And no ferris wheel.
