    Yeah, I could’ve told you that.

    I liked the initial presentation, I liked the more elaborate renders, I like what I’m seeing so far. 😍

    Good eye!! 😂😂😂

    No balconies on the west face? Ohhhhh

    The outside faces have a bit of a cheese grater look going on for now without the glass railings, but the faces framing the dihedral are starting to look very slick.

    Bulk petroleum doesn’t generally explode unless it is boiling and pressurizing its vessel. There are natural gas trunk pipelines beneath every major road on the island, and distribution lines below every other road on the island. I’m pretty sure pipelines are considered safe from explosion, otherwise the road wouldn’t dare go under it in the above picture. FWIW, any mass transit solution — LRT, ALRT, or heavy rail trains — would necessarily have to deal with the level crossings on whichever alignment is chosen — Sherbrooke, de Souligny, ND — whether it’s with short viaducts like REM between du Ruisseau and Sunnybrooke, or an elevated guideway like Pfds-Rox from 11e to Place Riviera.

    IINM, Melbourne’s COS (I forget what they call the rule but it’s the same) is 16 or 24. It’s a huge city, with lots of land and room to expand, but it’s growing ever more vertical, with high density and wonderful street life in the core. ETA: aha. Floor Area Ratio (or plot ratio). Until recently the CBD and central areas didn’t have one, but an interim control has been put in place limiting FAR to 24, along with revised setback rules. https://www.urban.com.au/news/interim-central-melbourne-planning-controls-the-detail

    Who? Né? Or Rocco Spaccamuro?

    I think it’s safe to say that if the COS rule was relaxed to allow 50% or even 100% more, we would see much more audacity in the offerings here. Smaller lots would reach the full height, and buyers would gladly pay the premium for more nuanced design and finer materials in order to live in exclusive “tall” super-slims. How many buyers in Manhattan raced to snap up units in the new super-tall-skinnies over the past decade? Exclusivity counts for a lot.

    It is my understanding that that will only be for pickup or drop off; all “organized” land transportation — bus, taxi, ride-hailing, even shuttles — will move into the new transportation centre above the station.

    To be frank, I haven’t seen enough renders of any version to gather any sort of opinion on what it might end up looking like. The initial concepts looked promising, these ones look very functional and bright. Let’s not forget that this is the international airport for a major world city, and yet it barely cracked 20 million passengers per year before the pandemic. That’s less than some regional airports serving small cities in the US and abroad. I’m ok with functional at an airport station if the access is good and the platforms are wide; just like the pickup area or the kiss-and-cry, I want to spend as little time there as possible. FWIW, the MRT station at Singapore Changi — universally regarded as the best airport in the world — is spacious, well-lit… and functional.

    Don’t forget they also want to make sure the police force is more sensitive… maybe the cops can hand out free spray paint cans like Father Emmet “Pops” Johns handed out food and guidance.
  14. SameGuy
    Lol yep
  15. SameGuy
    More like this, please. It’s really quite a sublime development, perfect for the QdS. Lucky Claude

    It’s certainly not demure.

    One last time: nobody here is suggesting a tramway all the way out to PAT.

    Alors je t’encourage à lire les 403 pages avant de battre à nouveau tous ces chevaux morts.

    I really wanted to like this one (when it was announced), but it’s right around the corner from ONF/NFB and Maestria. It may not be the very ugliest building in the neighbourhood, but it sure is a letdown by comparison to those two.

    So until the post-holidays work progresses a little further, we won’t really know if the hotel will be truncated or if indeed they are now pouring the penultimate floor of the hotel before commencing the slightly slimmer tower section above the terrace. I guess we’ll just have to “wait and see.”©le disparu

    Can we move along now?
  22. SameGuy
    Ah merci! 😅

    In both the original renders and the later ones, the cladding on the podium is different from that on the tower. We won’t know what they are doing until they start cladding the tower. This isn’t the older version AFAIK.
  24. SameGuy
    Really makes one wonder about the purpose of the CCU.
  25. SameGuy
    Which is a bit dismaying, as the cladding on the tower appears very dark here, and lacking the cross motif of the brighter off-white of the CM design.
