I still don't understand the move to go to regular spandrel at the top of the north facade. Why?

The designer or the developer or whoever thinks were idiots. No, we aren't going to confuse spandrel with being vision.

No need to host the Worst of the Year Awards, this one already swept every category.

I'm praying that a nice tower will be built on the Burger King site...

It reminds me of the LA County jail:

Oh, I think 365 Church gives this one a real run for its money. Not a shoe-in.

Don't forget the glory that is Velocity!

Panning left to right from my south-facing balcony at Karma, I see: 365 Church, YC, Velocity, Aura and CampusOne. It's a murderers' row of catastrophic design.

I'm glad I live in a city that has real competition for its worst building every year.

I'd say Velocity actually just barely limned the nadir of conceivably acceptable in the worst possible world.
This? Not even close.

Interesting to see the comments on a Toronto subreddit post for this building. I guess you don't have to follow development or architecture closely to notice how flawed this project is: https://www.reddit.com/r/toronto/comments/6wuutt/who_designed_this_eyesore/
Just saw this laugh-fest in the building's promotional material: http://www.live-campusone.ca/feng-shui-student-residence. They call Feng Shui a "science". Hahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Clearly, no-one involved fengshuied the exterior nor was involved when the planners were working out the massing of this monstrous eyesore, unless the verb 'to fengshui' means 'to barf up".

LOL, guess the Chinese parents of those engineering, comp sci and biomed* students must be really, really superstitious. Should have asked DSAI to clad that sucker in red and be done with it.
