D+S is hillarious! Their work has become so terrible, (was it ever good?) I just cannot fathom how somebody who devotes their life to architecture can produce such crap.
I mean... Four Seasons and Corus Quay we're terrible, but they should have been brilliant. and what is that lump they're building at Varsity Stadium? Now this?
However, I also think the original design for this site is awful as well. I bet everyone on this board can design something nicer.
Four Seasons is an all together good building. But it is the exception, not thr rule. I wouldn't even have a tiff about this, minus the huge slabs up the north sides. I mean, it doesn't respect any of the design of the building below (balconys poorly matched to window styles, etc). But those slabs are awful, to the nth degree. What do they accomplish? It's like facing a giant wall to the city centre, and it ain't even pretty.
