Some concrete is fine and necessary, but good landscape architecture ought to have some greenery and colour. Contrast the above with something like Parc Hydro-Québec in Montréal by Claude Cormier + Associés - https://www.claudecormier.com/en/projet/...dro-quebec - or their Lakeshore East project in Chicago: https://www.claudecormier.com/en/projet/lakeshore-east/
Love these examples. I know they are more complicated and costly in general and point taken if these on not also having to be on top of buried parking (which, is at least better than a surface lot), but just a night and day difference in the liveability.
Similar but lesser gripe with a few spaces that matter more to me in the region like the transit hub, etc. Would be nice to see more examples like these in the region than these lightly decorated slabs.
