There's some amazing curvy, angular, gravity defining architecture out there however, every cover of architect's magazine inspires hundreds of architects that are simply incapable of reproducing near that quality. You can't seem to delineate one from another. Good, bad or ugly doesn't factor in with you. You judge solely on a curve, an acute angle, a pole, etc.

The undeniable truth is that your own tastes need a whole lot of study before you should be making audacious claims like Toronto is ugly.


Toronto unfortunately has fallen into the trap when it come to landscape

design for many of the new or rejuvenated parks. The end result is we have a bunch of pretty parks that aren't very practical to use.

You right about park.I know that my taste does not represent every one.
But people who travel and see different thing in the world,would agree with me.Toronto has many thing to improve to be among the prettiest cities in the world.A city must always be improved for its citizens.Architecture reflect it population. When i said Toronto is ugly,do you know how ugly is yonge street except the district of dundas square .Buildings here must be renovated.The only modern and pretty district is the Waterfront.The rest is old and ugly.
You can see that in picture.

The repetitive and ugly architecture

Yonge street









Bloor street




The beautiful waterfront







I hope you can see that the waterfront should inspire the rest of the city.
