cookie cutter cardboard boxes

developers are surfing and people are buying

what idiot designer creates such a space under a rail passageway ?

what are they going to do with the bridge structure

hopefully it can be used to link both sides of the canal for bikes and pedestrians

Are the towers in the Airbnb permitted zone?  

I’m the last person to speak positively of Toronto

but Ryerson has this going on, and might be better

sell the air rights to pay for a metro line / or rem, and an underground tunnel

the buildings above will connect the two sides.  Have some public squares to increase land value in order to build high.

this is what we want in society?

give me a break on the point system

watch on netflix

black mirror: nosedive

my apologies for not being on the forum as much as others

but what is the significance numbers in green or red showing up 

looks like a score - what is this?  Black Mirror?

what is the logic of placing the station in pte st charles when the majority of residents and workers currently border griffintown and old montreal?

also, with a link to the airport, tourists could use the rem to get to Old Montreal, the city’s major destination

an eventual stop in pte st charles could be viable when a major residential project is eventually announced for the area

it looks like a mess -like the condo towers all one on top of eachother with cheap cladding near President Kennedy and deBleury

they messed up a classic plaza with a Boulevard Taschereau atmosphere of n’importe quoi 

Cold, ugly and an insult to the historic Gare Viger

Ce qui manque selon moi est une fontaine magistrale, à place des arbres rouillés. 

I would place a major one in Bassin Peel

They should close it completely.

The geography lends itself to an opportunity for a marvelous public space and amphitheatre in the style of the Spanish Steps.  

I find it so regretful that the Federal Govt is in charge of this land.  I remember too well how they destroyed the police station which could now be the entance for their planned hotel. 

On another note - i find it strange how Montreal loves to put our tourists in close contact with our homeless clientele and shelters.

i love it’

wanda has to go and a slim tower needs to go right next to it

cold

what a mess

some of it I like. but for the most part, it feels like a jumble of styles and attempts.  throwing the kitchen sink. i would have personally much preferred a classic plaza to highlight the architecture of the era.  the landscape architects want to grab all the attention from the master entrance of Wilfred Pelletier and the sobre Maisonneuve.

The canal looks awesome

You are nothing more than a « vespasienne »

A public Square guarantees status

it is nothing more than status

cross the street and there are 2

Sq vic and the new Bonaventure entrance

Any of the Royal Vic pavillions could do the job

Concordia Campus Annex

enough with the dark grey brick and horizontal mash-up of windows

Berlin on a bad day.
