Toronto Ryerson Image Centre | ?m | 5s | Ryerson University | Diamond Schmitt

I would rather like to see this building facing it on yonge street rather than inside university compounds because the LED light of this building would give a dynamic and spectacular scenery on yonge street...I believe Ryerson learnig centre building is quite boring on streel level..
 
This is slightly on topic...about the lighting, not the building (which I think is amazing!)....I remember when Old City Hall was lit at night...I think it would be great if they used it on Old City Hall....but in a historical light show kind of way...e.g. using/blending colour to highlight different aspects of the beautiful details on the building....not completely lit up at once, but almost like it is telling a story by highlighting numbers of aspects at different times. Any thoughts on this?

LEDs = Gravy! The only gravy Ford is interested in is the kind smothered all over his face and shirts.

Doesn't the Parliament Bldg do this?

yeah, there's usually a light show at 10pm during the summer.

It may work better at 'New' City Hall as there is a lot more room for people. Space infront of Old City Hall would be limited, and would probably result in many strained necks LOL

Too bad TO tore down the Armory Bldg where New City Hall now stands. That was an impressive structure which would have loved LED flooding!

Toronto City Hall ("New" City Hall) does have an LED system all around the two towers but only parts of the south face are illuminated until around midnight. The sides and back of the building - which scream for attention - have had the LED system turned off since last winter. More gravy I suppose...

Maybe because they are in middle of a window replacement program and about to start restoration of the concrete?

Well, they've been off since last winter and when I was there for the grand opening of the green roof I looked very closely at the condition of the building exterior and it's in remarkably good shape, at least to my eyes.

One lone light was on at the rear of the east tower tonight, the first time I've noticed any lights on back there in months. The entire north face appears lit up but it's not, I don't know why the colour spread like that.
