Re: A reality check for Port Lands project
So we had a major design competition and a year, whoops, forgot that a large piece of land was private that we cannot touch, and everybody involved is “surprised”? Hmm, that sounds like a architecture student project, not the design process for a 600m project. That kind of sloppiness really does not make people confident.
