on montreal:
i absolutely hate the complex dejardins, but love the hall building over at concordia. if you have to give it to concordia, give the monstrous library building. there was lsd in the water or something at the meeting where this design was chosen.
as for the rest of montreal, there are so many utter failures. the place dupuis is horrid, as is the bonaventure metro complex, the leacock building (go redmen!), and a variety of other brutalist horrors. but i reserve special scorn for that almost deliberately ugly annex just east of city hall, corner gosford and notre-dame. i can't find a photo, but believe me when i say that the thing is truly hateful.
