commie block of the future?

This looks pretty decent IMO, infill projects in non-prime locations don't always need to look spectacular.

not that it isn't a bad design, but remember that commie blocks werent considered ugly when they were made either. i find that there are a ton of developments going up now that look similar to this, and i think that in 20 years, these might be considered horribly ugly like the commie blocks that are scattered all over toronto today are.

This project will be called "Fabrik". Good name.

Yeah, I can't do cartwheels over this one, either. It's design seems quite unresolved to me, and lacks any type of continuity. I suppose at least it is not all glazed.

The usual "sexy" stuff that is popping up on every street corner. The section on top looks plopped on as an afterthought.... a sort of last minute addition.
