General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours

[tomh009]

The design could definitely be better as I think the façade is so boring, but there's nothing wrong with a modern looking funeral building in general. It's clean and neutral. I don't think every building relating to funerals needs to have some sort of Judeo-Christian faux traditional ornamented design to the building. A modern looking building looks just fine...examples:

Cor Asociados Arquitectos, Jesus Olivares, Miguel Rodenas - Funeral Home in Pinoso, Spain: https://divisare.com/projects/312533-cor...-in-pinoso
Hulpia Architechten - Van de Velde Funeral Center in Zomergen, Belgium: https://divisare.com/projects/423528-hul...ral-center

That's some nice concrete work on that second one.  We don't do that kind of thing much around here, in my opinion we should do more.

We have a lot of people who don't like brutalist architecture.
