Not a big fan of the corrugated sheathing, but the translucent glass looks great.
Despite Kuwabara's petulant whining about the flat-topped and therefore "suburban" Corus design, when his design review panel assessed that building, I'm delighted to see how the George Brown complex takes its cues from D+S's somewhat more unequivocal, sleek-hipped design.
The two match rather well, and I think they'll pass the test of time as an ensemble - much as streetscapes composed of handsomely-proportioned Georgian buildings often age better than later structures built by the Victorians with their obsession with making irritating statements against the skyline.
Me likey. My mind wanders to Pompidou because of the frank and explicit treatment of staircases, hence the flow of people.
