One definitely has to take a glaciologist's perspective when gauging progress on this building . I guess that matches the colour.
I count no fewer than seven windows that are no longer boarded up since my last post on April 25.
There is a fair bit more facade covering the floor slabs as well.
I do like how it's turning out.
Now that is architecture that says something for itself. We need way more of this. Too bad the floor plans are bogus--or so I hear--as I'd strongly consider moving here, and Corktown has always had a special place in my heart.
Now this is more of what we need. Reminds me of what you see in Europe. I love the work of these architects and wish they would do more work in this city. One of the best projects so far in this city!
Gilles Saucier is one of the few architects working at this scale who uses glass as a material to its full potential and not as a means to an economic end. It really goes to show that good design can be applied to any building typology, construction material, budget, etc.
