Argh!

I can't stand the cold, what is today, -20C? That's insanity. Oh well, at least the car started, I can be thankful for that... In the meantime, another culture post: It seems that Daniel Libeskind is being suggested for a possible revision of the Hummingbird Centre in downtown Toronto. The Star's architecture critic, Christopher Hume was discussing this on CBC Radio One with host Andy Barrie this morning and one of them made a useful suggestion: Why not give someone like Libeskind or Gehry or whoever a fresh canvas. It was a really good point. For reasons unknown to me, Toronto's sudden infatuation with architecture seems to be defined by additions or revisions to existing structures. Libeskind's ROM, Alsop's OCAD, Gehry's AGO, why not get a top architect to do something new here? Toronto has plenty of unused, derelict spaces that could stand something new and innovative.
