Just posting for thoughts.....I've posted similar before. Is there any desire for some classic elements or exo-structure on buildings or do they just look 'old' or dated?

Nice render:
With the exception of exo-skeleton and your far more interesting roof resolution... this reminds me so much of the first ancient render of Bay Adelaide One (cathedral inspired). Source: no idea found in UT archives

Sometimes I just start to draw lines in CAD and see where my brain takes me. This is where my current design mood as brought me: not so urban

Welcome back DoubleA.
The high angle looks like new generation stealth fighter.
The second pavilion view of (presumably in front of melting ice-cap) is a discussion in itself. But maybe I'm over-thinking (not the first time).
Cheers.

I made this almost three years ago, a bit after the peak of their craze.

Hello all, these are some conceptual ideas and massing that I'm working on for Toronto's waterfront. I love designing and it's something I will always do for both work and as a hobby.

Very nice at grade (anything with brick is welcome). But I'm sure you know that site is hosting the nicest design in the east Bayfront, Aqualuna.

I cant wait to see Aqualuna! This whole development makes me very happy. I would love one day to take a boat harbour tour and absorbed this site from that perspective!
Thanks for your comment

Couple of renderings I made for a design competition. A little rusty as it's been two years since I graduated but it's all for fun:

Very nice work ... particularly love the angle play on the towers.
I would like to purchase this asap for the YSL site, which I think may have originally had an early 2 tower avec sky-bridges design scheme. More please.

Agree completely that would be a beautiful addition. Especially on YSL site. ... but anywhere

Thanks!! Yeah the budget was pretty tight for the competition so I had to use my own photos instead of purchasing some for an actual site that I would've preferred (like 385 Yonge).

Let's imagine if Menkes decided to be bold with the Sugar Wharf project and fires Architects Alliance for being unimaginative... Here's what I would like to see in the waterfront.
Toronto needs more audacious and neo futurism style architecture because Toronto's architecture is a little poor. If I propose this vision it's because I am strongly disappointed with actual look of the towers proposed on the site.
If this wonderful design were to come to fruition, Toronto would have a true architectural icon and one of the most outstanding buildings ever built in the world.
I don't think it's specially d'or this site, but it seems to be a vision for somewhere in the waterfront.
I know I am just a dreamer, but if I was a real estate developer, I would try to realize something of that kind that for Toronto.
Happy holidays my friends
It's a vision from an architectural firm named Evolo.

In light of current sustainable goals, and since the post-war sprawl expansion model no longer seems to suffice, a new paradigm has been slowly emerging, shifti…

So far, I'd give it a seven. I like the musculariity and 'street meet' of the podium. Also, evidently the Mennonites like it too, which is a big plus. With a few minor tweaks, clad that base in some lovely material (stone or Mac Millan Bloedel-quality concrete) and I'd say you're really onto something.NimbyTect's King Francis II is a vision for King and Francis downtown Kitchener: not totally sorted yet--eg the tower lacks detail like balconies, the windows got inverted (oops--easy to correct), setbacks etc. The corner would likely have more setbacks--extrude that facade anyway your imagination will let you!
King Street facade:
My instaRATING out of ten: .5
