One Sexy building
This one had 'WOW' all over it the moment it was concieved. It had a look of sexiness. I couldnt believe it, when I heard it was actually approved to go forward. A building like this?....in Toronto???
I often tend to side with Hume of the of the Toronto Star on his criticisms of same old blah crap architecture that is being thrown up. This building's design actually seemed to be too much for him the other way. I think he was way off on his criticism on the design on this one. This city needed this. Ironic that it resembles a boot to so many. Perhaps it will be just what we need to 'kick' the condo architects in this city into designing more daring and exciting designs. The bar has finally been raised.
Intersesting... People look at a drawing of a proposed building that is truly different and the reaction of the majority is overwhelmingly negative. Make a model of it, something you can walk around, something tactile and real, and suddenly comments and reactions turn 180 degrees, or so it seems.
The TD Centre, The City Hall, CN Tower, like it or not are a just a few of Toronto's 'Icons". I think quite possibly we may now have a new one.
