Unless something changes, they should be wrapping the tower podiums in glass...at least I sure fucking hope so. The architecture firm behind this work is Martin Simmons and they are easily the best local architecture firm native to Waterloo Region. Here are two renders vaguely showing the glass. If they don't add this, then yeah, it's going to be a diaster. I already think it is because when you look close, many of these panels are not even lined up correctly. There are wide gaps in between some of them which makes no sense. Duke Tower is suffering from that problem as well.
Even so, of all their work, this is perhaps their weakest project yet.
