Expo looks like a parking garage

Burrard looks like 1960's west end

W 2nd Ave looks boring, with an annoyingly-familiar and desparate splash of colour. reminds me of the cbc building in toronto

Alexander Street is tolerable, but really belongs in the 70's as a radisson hotel

Same for East Broadway, only not so tolerable

7th and Fir can go either way... time will tell

I hope Powell is just a placeholder until they get around to designing it

1251 Howe looks really promising... the design is rational and seems hard to screw up

Realistically, I can only see 1251 Howe, 7th and Fir, Alexander, W 2nd to be built without a major redesign... the others are beyond ugly... there's no way the udp will let them by without SOME modification.
