Good point. However, if you click on most of the pictures or the link underneath, it will take you to the original with that info.

That's funny. When this building was completed, it was almost unanimously disliked by Vancouver forumers. It's a terrible attempt at POMO in the 21st century, and those triangular, chalet-style windows on the orange roof? Ugh. The Grace is a mess.

Thanks for the great series of Vancouver finds, Monolith. I liked the SFU ones too (that it's my alma mater should come as little surprise). Thanks, Monkey Ronin, for the great set of Toronto (I'm feeling nostalgic now).

^ Yes that's exactly what I was thinking. I remember once there was a low end store selling cheapr reproductions of the Barcelona chair for like $39.99 with an description saying something like "Inspired by sophisticated, high-end designer pieces, this stunning reproduction is sure to add a dash of flare to any room. Add this dramatic look to your home today! High fashion design has never been more attainable.

Only it sounds like the same store was selling those buildings saying, "Inspired by the architecture of world famous metropolises, this stunning, sophisticated design is sure to show off your city's avant-garde style. Even your new, smallish city will soon have the swagger of the big boys. Add this dramatic look to your cityscape today!!

Only if it's Tuesday and this is Belgium.

MonkeyRonin, your periodic Toronto posts are like a breath of fresh air in this mostly uninspired and insipid thread. I look forward to them.

Amazing Toronto post. Really love that one of SFU too, the SFU Quadrangle was used as the "Riverwalk Section" of Caprica City in Battlestar Galactica.

Yeah I know, not exactly the most subtle jab at the other memebers who post pictures on this thread (and of course, cities that are not Toronto). Of course, seeing who posted it, no surprise.
