I know i seldom make comments about future projects being spectacular just because of the amount of criticism on this board. The only exception I can think of on my part was the BIG proposal for Howe St.
There is one more upcoming project that I feel will land into that category but it's still much to early in the process to release details on.

It's nothing to do with "who says these things".
It's the process. A developer has a vision of a great building. An architect sketches a great building. That gets leaked, and people get excited. Somewhere in the process between the accountants, the marketers, the public and the city, we end up with something bland.
The vision gets lost because so many other hammers knock the creativity out of the original plan.
I will place a bet right now that exactly the same thing will happen to the new Vancouver Art Gallery.
