Pug Awards

This is your chance to comment on Toronto's architecture. Toronto's Pug Awards started four years ago and allow us to vote whether or not we think that new buildings fit into a neighbourhood. Our votes and comments may not change the architects' opinion' and decisions but it is fun to be able to comment on these designs which are springing up all around us and some of which have a certain cookie cutter look to them that do not account for the neighbourhood and landscape. If you go to http://www.pugawards.com/, you have the opportunity to examine the many buildings and express your opinion. One of the most controversial is certainly the Royal Ontario Museum's Michael Lee-Chin Crystal. It has been cited as an example of ground breaking architecture and one of the new places that is attracting tourists to Toronto which is a good thing. I have to find time to get to this structure. S
