I love me some skylines with old-school skyscrapers

Edifice Aldred is my favourite historic high-rise in the country. Always reminds me of Batman for some reason.

I don't normally quote an entire post's worth of pictures, but I had to for this one... it's just so beautiful. Brookfield is a stunner, and The Bow's no slouch either.

The most insidious aspect of those original UQAM buildings is their complete shunning of the street via blank walls and trenches. WTF.

Yeah pretty brutal streetscape, would definitely expect better in a city like Montreal.

It's not like there aren't — examples like that here though. Even worse, some continue to be built to this day, just not in brutalist style.

Montreal has some of the nicest streetscapes in the country, but it also has no share of doozies on the dark side.

It's very much a feast-or-famine type of place in this respect.
