The Danish architectural invasion of Toronto continues: a new "arts, culture and tech" for @UTM by @HLArchitects with @kpmbarch utm.utoronto.ca/main-news/new-…
@UTM @HLArchitects @kpmbarch And a new residence by Christenson & Co. with @MontgomerySisam. governingcouncil.utoronto.ca/system/files/a…
Denmark's architectural culture is very sophisticated and their gov't has been relentless in promoting Danish architects. These are the results.
Meanwhile, in Canada. cc @TOAdamVaughan

My exclusive on this huge Vancouver project by @SquamishNation: Now 12 towers including office, breaking ground in 2021 theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
@SquamishNation Retail and 6,000 bike parking spots below grade. Ground level largely green, entirely publicly accessible. 2/ ImageImage
@SquamishNation A new formal gateway will flank the Burrard bridge. @Khelsilem:“There’s a strong desire to express Squamish identity though the public realm and through the rest of the development.” 3/

RLT: In Toronto the city parking authority wants to take a new downtown park - which councillor @joe_cressy - has fought for - and put a three-level 144-space garage underneath it. No. toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2… #topoli 1/ Image
Providing (subsidized) car parking – especially here in perhaps the most walkable place in the country - is not something government should be doing. Huge expense and carbon footprint. 2/
If the city climate policy means anything at all, this - building a large concrete structure to make it easier for people to drive - is a non-starter. 3/

Slow, unpredictable, expensive, annoying. @fabulavancouver’s series shows why building ADUs is and will remain a small niche. #vanre
Even if @PlanVancouver streamlines their policy, development remains wildly complex. Asking non-professionals to go through this for one or two units will never, ever generate meaningful change. Image
If the supremely knowledgeable @fabulavancouver trips over all these obstacles, how are thousands of ordinary homeowners supposed to navigate them?

From my morning walk, some serious missing middle. C. 1910. One house lot; 32 homes. This kind of “gentle density” could make a real impact if we let it.
This would be 16 kinds of illegal right now. No parking. No garbage-truck access. Basically no setbacks. All sorts of “overlook” and shadowing on one neighbouring house.
Adding housing to a walkable neighbourhood is not a complicated technical or architectural problem. Do this. Make the airshafts bigger. If there isn’t enough soft landscaping, widen the street, which is too wide, anyway. Repeat x 5000.

Looking north on Yonge St. Clusters of towers at Bloor, St. Clair, Eglinton. Sheppard in the distance.
