I've resigned myself to the fact that Toronto has been inundated with soul less high-rises like that. Looking for a silver lining, I take solace in that they're structurally sound and will one day be re-clad. There's also been a shift away from that sterile minimalist aesthetic and towards better quality finishes, more exterior detailing, use of colour/warmer tones, and more variety in materials. Hopefully in 10 years and 100 high-rises later, those soul sucking glass towers will fade into the background.
