Aura, tall and proud, keeping eye over its minions. Especially the church there--somewhere in that 'dichotomy' there are the careers of innumerable suede-elbow-patched academics.

I recall reading that the parking lot between this building and St. Lawrence Market will be turned into a park; it's also shown in their renderings. Anybody know when that's going to happen? Along with the renovated Market Street, the new park will make the area behind the Market feel much more complete and bookend Crombie Park nicely. Although I think a traditional urban square with a central fountain would be even better at that location.

IIRC it will be used as a temporary market location while the St. Lawrence market North building is constructed, then will be turned into a park. Still a whiles off yet.

That makes sense, thanks for that. Good to know it's going ahead.

I was told that Context is waiting for Metrolinx to level the land to clad the base. To be completed at the latest, end of November.

In light of delays from railways, project won't start until 2014 April.

Anyone happen to catch if the public art in the public walkway got installed?

 

[Torontovibe]

^^ They are working at it. It's about half way done.

The stuff on the ceiling?

The view from the 11th floor.

Yeah the pedestrian walkway that's supposed to go through the building. The ceiling was supposed to look like water I think, according to the renders earlier in the thread.

So far, I am not impressed with the "art" in the parking area/walkway. Unless there is going to be light behind these panels, the effect is quite muted and almost invisible and a waste of time. Does anyone know if there is intent to have these panels backlit somehow?

 

[Miscreant]

That shot is beautiful.

 

[Edward Skira]

Thanks. Not too bad considering its my phone and I'm shooting into the sun.

That should look pretty interesting with interesting light effects at night.
