General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours

[jwilliamson]

I don't know what such a building is supposed to look like, but I personally don't think this looks any worse than a random funeral home or community centre.

And it's really a reno/reclad of an existing building, so that in itself places constraints on the design.

Some ornamentation would help. It looks like there are hardly any features on the building smaller than about half a meter. I think the fundamental question is whether not looking worse than a random funeral home is the most we can ask from the architect. Maybe we don't need to demand excellence, but we should at least hope for more than bland mediocrity.
