I have not read the article and will after this commentating. "... great architecture" she is not as I would have been beaming with joy. Unfortunately for this "great architecture", I'm embarrassed by it. I cringed when I see photos of it and feel sick at the waste of money for it when I traverse by the place.

This building would look a liiiiitle better if those snow brakes were removed from the roof, and it badly needs a coat of paint.
It looks so ugly, even the unfinished LRT station looks better.
It looks so ugly, a garbage can would win against it in a architectural design contest.

Did the cost overruns overwrite the cost savings and rehabilitating the existing structure? We shoulda just built from the ground up. And many of us were saying this over on C2E years back.

Oh yeah, WTF is that white triangle in the middle of the building?

Well, certainly A library, but not sure THIS library would.

This is an exquisite piece of architectural design!

The panels on the Library are not uniform in colour, probably due to some pieces being stored outside for some time before being installed.
'The metal on the garbage can (minus the lid) is completely uniform in colour and design.

Being an architect - talk about a tankless job.
