True. I think the city can do without Libeskind. The most over-rated architect on the planet?
If Peter Clewes got a New York City gig--you never know maybe the Lamb will do something there...--I bet everyone here would suddenly say he's the best thing since Philip Johnson.
Clewes is better than average, but I'd take a Libeskind any day over one of aA's shiny, perfect, boring boxes...

Slagging Libeskind now?
Pfft. Keep fooling yourself. Ones a world renowned architect, while that Clewes fella who's coat tails you would love to ride on, would barely register a "who?" outside of this city.

What I am seeing for the current wall, it's one of the best ones I have seen to date. I saw one in Kitchener in early December that took the square box out look out of the picture.

Libeskind is a sort of a one trick pony. Apart from the Jewish museum in Berlin, I am not a fan of his work either. But Philip Johnson?? New York city has new(ish) buildings by Herzog &DeMeuron, SANAA, Shigeru Ban, Nouvel, BIG, Morphosis, Gehry, Renzo Piano etc etc etc YTF would anyone care about dead & buried (post)modernist Philip Johnson?

I like the colour. it's a breath of fresh air. walking east on front street to the Royal York gives you a really view of L Tower. I think it will pop.

I like it. This building was always going to be eye-catching due to its height and unique shape, but this shade of blue makes it even more so.

Man, this tower is going to be absolutely amazing!! Thanks for all the photos people. I live so close to this tower, but never go down to this area.

This tower gives toronto something it badly lacks - variety....I'm excited to see how the blue plays out as this grows. High marks for trying something different for a change...
