Really interested to see how these facade materials turn out in person, from up close and from afar. If the renderings don't do it justice, it'll turn out amazing. If the renderings are better than the final product, it'll be a total dud. Gehry's the connective tissue between Toronto and Los Angeles (born in the former, came up in and founded his practice in the latter, where he still resides), so hoping this one is better than The Grand, which turned out just okay.
