Thanks, Sarah. I checked, and violators is the term. They are all over the place, aren't they? There may be more violators than design. Thanks for pointing that out.

Thanks, Ulrich. There are few truly modernist buildings in Toronto, but we have many staid adulterations of modernism.

Nice light and some interesting shadows there John.............the detail in the brickwork is super and I like the shape of the paving tiles.

Taking away the bench was a barbarous act against humanity and art. Although the building is plain, the bench invited people to pause and look beyond its failings of architecture. Even the most unremarkable things have interest in them somewhere, but now the message is to hurry past, to look elsewhere. It is an admission of failure.
