Why? I didn't create this thread looking for input. It's a building design competition. Why would my comments be about the quality of the drawings or the time it takes to make them? How is that any different from any other drawing posted on this forum? These proposals are as unoriginal, cold, overbuilt and, hostile as anything pushed by developers in this city. I understand that's what some people want. I find it a terrible direction and I'm not going to start sugar coating things because of weak sensibilities. I believe in a straightforward honest opinion; one with no personal attachment. I'm not going to flirt around an opinion because they were drawn by SSP members. I find all 3 of the Maitland proposals terrible. Your choice how you want to view that.
Re: Drawing.
More revisionist history. I have complimented Maldive's drawing prowess many times. I have complimented Whistler's as well. Koops is exceptionally better than the limitations of the program he uses. It's a complete waste of his talents. Of course, SSP and especially those with commercial experience rather encourage him to continue wasting his abilities than to be honest about it. That's just sad.
