Ice beginning to be visible from Rees Street and Queen's Quay.

 

[Miscreant]

Those two beige buildings, and the three that are just out of this frame to the west, are horrendous.

 

[Tewder]

The stacks of canoes are awesome. Now that's Toronto! What a great idea for an art installation too.

So is every other building along the harbourfront.

 

[Lenser]

I imagine a few thousand people will, in time, do just that.

Eh, I wouldn't go that far. But yeah, it's not Venice down there, that's for sure.

I actually really like them. Nice relief in a sea of glass.

 

[isaidso]

If you just meant that those strips of precast are a welcome break from the monotony of glass, well ya... but it's a sad day when we can get excited about precast!

Yes, that's what its come to. In this area, I'll take anything that's NOT glass at this point.

Yeah, they are a change. But in and of themselves...? Looks like they were designed in Paint, Windows 3.0.

 

[ProjectEnd]

Unlikely since Harbour Point I, II, and III were completed in 1986, a full four years before the release of Windows 3.0. I like them - they stand as testament to a time when Northgrave was actually doing great work (see also Bay Charles Towers, 1166 Bay and Rosedale Glen, among others).

What is it exactly that you like about them? I had a cab driver once refer to them as "the three ugly sisters". I can't complain too loudly since I live in one of them, but they've never struck me as particularly attractive buildings.

Ice and Infinity tonight:

 

[CanadianNational]

Thanks for the pics!
That "wall of proximity" shot is really incredible. What a change.
