I thought the whole point of this forum was to discuss development in the region? That includes discussion about aesthetic qualities of buildings. Everyone has a different opinion on what constitutes beauty, so a lively debate can take place during the construction of various buildings. That is kind of the reason I visit this site daily, to see what peoples opinions are on various projects. I appreciate that this building has received a majority of the hate on this forum recently, but it is going to be the tallest in the region it deserves scrutiny, even if us complaining won't change anything about it. This forum is a place for us to vent our frustration at times. I would rather people continuously crap on this projects for the IMO aesthetic shit show it is, while the select few say its not as bad as building from the 80's. Opposed to just receiving status updates and no one making comments.

Don't worry, I'm here to dunk on this building every chance I can get.

This forum is a place for us to vent our frustration at times. The way things are going, it will be the tallest for a 4 years, if that. The proposed Francis appears to be at least 40 (I counted 44) floors. And look, I do agree that this condo isn't going to win any beauty contests. But it still is mostly unfinished. Not that finishing it will change it into a winner, but it will change the look and feel of it.

As I mentioned in my previous comment. The colours are bad and I dont know what would have saved this. But the most egregious part of this is how incoherent it all is.
Buildings a mess. If they had at least stuck to one or two design elements and colors it would've felt cohesive. I've learnt from playing minecraft that anything more than 3 or 4 colours in you build palette and you're playing with fire lol.

It is crazy how far away this building is visible. It's equally crazy that we have two proposals that look like they will be bigger.
I know we were all worried about the design from the get go and although I am glad that this won't be our tallest tower for long (it is kind of ugly) it won't be terrible in my opinion. I can see it from Hillside Park, Moses Springer (If you go to the top of the hill) and it's pretty neat from those distances.

From yesterday, relatively speaking it does look very tall in person!

I love the obvious gaps between the concrete panels. The strip of white panels that are parallel to each other have a gap and there appears to be a gap on the top left section. Truly a masterpiece, IN8.

This would not pass QC at any self-respecting car manufacturer. |
