Bloor Dundas Square
Concrete was invented by the Romans - you'd think by now someone would have figured out its poor response to Toronto's rain and sun, freeze and thaw?

Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel
it was Toronto's tragedy that we replaced them (theatres and storefronts) with this monstrous slab of hotel rooms and pedestrian-repellent concrete.

St. Clair Place
I call it "poo-brown"… This could be a fantastic 'flatiron' building (Vaughan meets Bathurst here at a 45 degree angle)... but we're met with a wasteland of wasted opportunity.via online review

They plop down the same cookie-cutter, one storey design everywhere, so on the Danforth we're left with a 100+ metre wall of dead sidewalk.via online review

The Great Library
My preference to visit is a quiet lunchtime stop when you can stroll around the space, take in its majesty, and then return to your day thinking the world is a bit prettier than it was before you entered.

The job of an artist is to offer a sanctuary of beauty to an ugly world.
