I've never thought RLA designs were ugly. Just mediocre, unimaginative, bland. Having a few stand alone here and there is ok. When we start building clusters of RLA designed towers, then it starts to look like modern commie-blocks. In summary, my issue is the repetitiveness, not the design itself.
Examples of design that should be unacceptable anywhere are those with blank walls in anticipation for a future next door tower. We need to implement Vancouverism in this City to prevent this type of thing and guarantee light to all residents. The Hampton Inn proposed in the Market (which is also heavy on blank walls) is a design that should be banned from existence.
