Do you live in the area? Does the entire city have to be homogenous and contemporary to fit one person's taste? For example, it's probably a positive that Humber Bay Shores wasnt designed to appease my own architectural tastes. For all it's flaws, the monolithic green glass towers (and parkade podiums) have given that area a kind of mini Biscayne , mini Miami identity that kind of works. Bespoke Audax midrises or Robert Stern highrises would be out of place there, just as they'd be out of place at Ossington and Dupont or Sterling Rd.
Is X Condos 'neo historical' since clearly is a derivative of Mies Van Der Rohe ?
I think somthing like the podium of 31R Parliment proposal would be a much more appropriate alternative to this aA design, based on your valid critique of the podium of this proposal being too monolithic and austere. I agree with you there.
