Still has the old store hours on the door after all this time. Man, I hated having to work until midnight on Fridays.

2012 is going to be a big year for Picasso in Toronto--a 4 month show at the AGO and also this condo project, which is art itself and now 2011 RenderPornStar-of-the-Year!

The scale model makes this look even better but I can't help but think it would look even better if it tapered at the top.

The scale model confirms that there are so many interesting details to this unique tower--some giving it a sense of playfulness. However, the mechanical box at the tops looks anything but playful. It looks like a complete afterthought without any design at all. It can't be defended on the Modernist principle of embracing the functional, for blank grey walls reveal nothing about the functions of that part of the building.

Nice building. However, it's street presence is pretty crummy.

As cool as it is, the ground level does seem to be its weak link.

Here's a couple of preliminary renderings, designed by Core. Greenpark's designs and architect choice are improving.

What an amazing design. It looks as though you're looking at a street grid from above, where the grey recessed corridors are roads and the white protruding sections are rows of buildings. It's as if part of the neighbourhood was carved out of the earth and propped up like a monument. Glorious.
This is easily my favourite project in the city.

That's a nice interpretation 
.
It also strikes me as being some sort of future highrise lunar colony or colony on Mars. There's a very NASA quality to it.

The project has sold quite well according to Murray Goldman (who was named 'Man of the Year' by the development industry),:
