I really like the brutalist-like interior of the third submission, but I'd go for the first submission or the last.
Same but I feel like we could use something completely new and different. Im hoping #4 has some better and more refined renders on hand when they present it next week. Any of the 4 are good thoygh.

By all means I agree. I just don't care much for submission 3's exterior...it seems to keep to that boxy institutional approach.
Ya. I really hope thats not what they choose. I really like #2 but i feel like Ryeson has already provided us with a structure like that albeit its not a wood structure. #1 will ad some warmth with all that exposed timbre. Its also a shame these proposals arent for the location of the current campus to the south of it. They would look great right on the water.

#2 then #1 for me although I'd be happy with either of those GB proposals.

1 plain jane
2 those hanging trusses into the open space make zero sense to me.
3 this space probably has the most potential but, where's the wood and the x braces
4 too conceptual to form an opinion.
Overall
1 & 3 tie
1 it's wood but unadventurous
3 I like the details the best although I'm concerned with TFAI handling the project. wood is secondary
4 too conceptual
2 wannabe
It is actually you that misunderstood. I was speaking aesthetically. They are 🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵 ugly. They take a grand open space and make it low slung and restrictive. The whole project comes across that way with the fritted glass and trendy angular planes. It's very plastic.
Yea, the second submission makes no sense to me.....it's like the threw away the pragmatics of the space and wanted to add some pointless design to make it look like eye candy. My least favourite submission because of that....and the fritted glass exterior looks like some Montreal knockoff.

The Winspear Completion Project will feature a 600-seat flex-use midsize acoustic hall, childcare centre, underground parkade, multifunctional spaces, and commercial space. This project will become the home base for the community programming offered through the Tommy Banks Centre for Musical Creativity and allow increased capacity for education, outreach, and partnership with sister arts organizations and business partners.

The addition/completion of our beloved Winspear Concert Hall has been funded by the Province, ie. will move forward now.

This is one of 2 proposals I have seen on this. ATB (Stantec) has another that is not as elaborate and will probably be the proposal moving forward. However if this one does get the nod, I expect a lot of value engineering.

I assume the weird glass stripped domes will be one of the first things to be changed. Not sure how realistic that material would be in the real world anyway. I'd laugh if it becomes metal siding.

Would love to see this one as well but realistically I don't see it. I know there was a lot of study on the concert hall and practice area along with the public spaces. So that would be where the lions share money is spent.
When I look at this rendering I see elements of the Nation Music Centre.
