Fantastic, Tomms - How did you get up there?
Why does one have to admire it just because it's audacious. If anything it's ostentatious. As is OCAD. Two buildings trying to be avant garde or just really something spectacular but falling well short.
MWB:
Actually, I am still waiting to see what your idea of spectacular is - you seem to be able to offer crticisms of everything but unable to suggest alternatives to anything. Now that's one thing I don't have to admire.

My favourite part of all, though, is how the lobby of the crystal makes the old ROM an artifact of its own. The museum becomes a museum piece!
Or if it was cladd in just glass even like it was supposed to be originally.
No one would clad a whole museum wing in glass. I'm sure there never was such a plan at the ROM. You want to protect your collection from the elements - including the long-term effects of sunlight. Also, all that glass would be incredibly expensive.
