Oh...man...wow. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh....
Thanks for schooling my dumb ass! I'm new to the scene, with no idea of how it works, so I really appreciate your taking the time to calmly and cooly explain that everything is simply a shitshow.

Diamond Schmitt is fully aware of how much people hate that building Alex. You won't find any references to it on dsai.ca. I am led to believe that they were backed into a corner by Knightstone on the cladding as the budget was chopped more than once on the way to construction. They were also backed into a corner by the City and the developer in terms of angular planes etc, it's odd shape resulting from get every inch of space that Knightstone wanted on their odd lot and the City not wanting it over a certain height. We as a city have serious problems to deal with in that regard.I wouldn’t be so sure that the design will completely change. Diamond has used similar language before. And as bad as the drawings look, the reality - when all that glass is window wall - is going to be even worse.

We’re talking here about the composition of the facades? The strategy of staggering rectangles of brick and glazing is not purely about budget. It’s a design strategy. Which nobody seems to like.I am led to believe that they were backed into a corner by Knightstone on the cladding as the budget was chopped more than once on the way to construction.
