DTK Condos' podium is not blank. Do you prefer that, then? Why all the hate?
And this wall isn't blank. It has aluminum panels with a seemingly random pattern of holes. It looks easily better than most other podiums in buildings built to date, at least to me. What it is, though, is a letdown from what we expected it to be.
Agreed, I'll take a good idea that didn't quite reach its potential like this every time over the slab podiums elsewhere in town. A bit disappointed they couldn't realize the original but I really don't think it looks that bad.
As others have stated, its also a good building at street level which is important too.
