  1. Wow! The resolution is unbelievable - I can zoom in and see my town roughly 35km from where the photo is taken (One World Trade Center):
  2. L'église St. James the Apostle se trouve au 1439 Rue Sainte-Catherine Ouest. St. James United (en face du Future Shop) est au 463. Typo?
  3. Desolé pour la photo floue le 27 septembre
  4. The unicorn shitting a rainbow is a nice touch.
  5. (Tiré de l'invitation) Je ne savais pas qu'il y aura aussi un parc délimité par les rues Ottawa, du Séminaire, de la Montagne, William et Saint Thomas. C'était déjà annoncé?
  6. Son père est riche en tabernak! The letter writer is certainly the ne plus ultra of nimbyism.
  7. I saw this on another forum, and I thought it might be worthwhile to post it here:
  8. Yes... My point is that this statement: ...is demonstrably untrue. New York's not just building One57s; Chicago's not just building Aquas; Toronto's not just building Auras - to pretend otherwise is both provincial and oddly self-deprecating.
  9. Sais-tu que Karl Fischer travaille aussi à New York? http://m.ny.curbed.com/tags/karl-fischer
  10. ACPNC, with all that the "Makers" of society do for the "Takers" among us, surely Mark has earned his right to screw around on the internet on the company's dime. (Sarcasm) (Sarcasm) (Sarcasm) (Sarcasm) (Sarcasm) Seriously though, if the work ethic of the average office/middle management worker was to come under a level of scrutiny comparable to that usually applied to "les cols bleus", I don't think you'd see much of a distinction. One difference is that working under the hot sun (or aboard an aircraft, for that matter), you can't periodically maximize a spreadsheet to make it look as though you're busy.
  11. Pas encore, en tout cas! Maire Applebaum a beaucoup de travail à faire pour rattraper son homologue torontois: http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=Rob%20Ford%2C%20Michael%20Applebaum&date=today%2012-m&cmpt=q ...Montreal encore battu par Toronto!
  12. Can anyone explain what "Real Sports" means in English, anyway? Do they not deal in quidditch and other imaginary sports? Perhaps they only air Real Madrid matches? A stupid name in any language.
  13. Un article qui pourrait vous intéresser... hot off the presses: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/10/arts/design/moma-reconsiders-plan-to-raze-folk-art-museum.html?hp&_r=0 Faut peut-etre qu'on repense le projet à Montreal aussi...
  14. I don't mean to get into a pissing match and hijack the thread, but I just don't think a condo tower financed by the private sector and a cultural building financed by the provincial government should be evaluated architecturally as equivalent. Obviously, the proposed pavilion is more interesting than the Tour des Canadiens - but it doesn't have to be profitable either! Public-funded architecture should be held to a higher standard - it's an opportunity for TRUE audacity. That standard should be even higher when a project entails losing some of our built heritage. Taste is subjective, but I don't see this building as audacious. How many hundreds of buildings already have the haphazard fenestration effect - in Montreal alone? As for the possibilities of marrying exciting modern architecture with the preservation of built heritage (of which acpnc - whose posts I enjoy greatly and whose opinions I respect a great deal - seems to be uncharacteristically dismissive), we can look to the Mount Stephen Club a stone's throw away, which, in my opinion, is much more interesting and surprising in its use of a textile-like cladding. Really?
  15. WOW!! De nuit même le CRCHUM paraît beau, comme la superstructure d'un gros paquebot.
  16. C'est plusieurs milliers de nouveaux résidents qui vont soutenir des dizaines de nouveaux commerces et qui vont animer des quartiers entiers (tout financé par le privé)? True. But it's not an empty lot. It's a cultural institution tearing down the city's built heritage for what is (in my opinion) a somewhat generic building - if you saw it in New York, or Rotterdam, or anywhere in the western world, would you look twice? - on a street that's already lost half of its historic charm and half its streetlife thanks to the hulking, windowless Hall Building across the street. I just don't think that some forms that have been torqued around on Autocad with haphazard glazing (Je pense à la tôle ondulée du CRCHUM) are inherently great replacements for two quintessential golden square mile victorians. Maybe I'm cranky, but that's my two cents.
  17. I really don't mean to be a party-pooper, but it's disheartening to see the MBAM go from the wonderful Claire and Marc Bougie Pavilion (with the Erskine and American Church integrated beautifully) to this mediocrity - all the while destroying two greystones, both seemingly with perfectly good bones, and which offset the drab modernity of the Hall Building across the street. I don't know if it's because the province is footing the bill, but it's discouraging.
  18. Si on a besoin d'un tempête de neige pour ajouter de l'interêt à un rendu, faut constater que le projet n'est pas très interessant ' Je suis tanné de voir ces propositions quasi-déconstructioniste. Médiocre.
  19. Yes, but, if I am reading pages 127-128 of Ville-Marie bureau d’arrondissement Agenda for April 9th correctly, the approval would have been subject to these conditions: And, most importantly: Does anyone know what that means in practice? Is anyone familiar with what Title VIII would entail? (Sorry for the abrupt switch to English - I'm at work with a english keyboard :-0 )
