TEK Tower (30 Francis) | 45 fl | U/C

[WLU]

I think this tower will prove once and for all whether SRM Architects has ANY talent. Anything...whatsoever. They might because I know people who have been there (and obviously left lol)...but is there anyone left? The design of this looks, uh, acceptable I guess. I have no complaints about the podium. The tower is a bit repetitive but it's tricky to alter it without relying on super generic design tricks that exist in 2023. But to do it correctly takes a good designer.

We've all seen how terribly 100% of their work has been so far. It stains the region, like tumorous growths that you can see and want to have some form of nuclear radiation destroy. Will the small team that worked on this tower have actually succeeded in designing something nice? Will it psychologically comfortable? Are the the materials high quality? Is the interior and exterior of the building going to have any issues? Does the building look nice to look at from outside? What about inside?

Apart from SRM being quite nearly (but not entirely) talentless, they are thieves. Pop quiz! :'P Can anyone tell these two apart? Any idea which one SRM Architects designed and which one was done by an extremely famous firm that? Regardless of your answer, it's pretty insane for an "upcoming" architecture firm to straight up steal someone else's creative output, convince obviously clueless team leaders it's their own original work and to then actually have this Dollarama bootleg get constructed.

Where is the building on the right located and what is the name of the firm that designed it?

Thx
