Up at the Toronto Star, the critic Christopher Hume sees a rather unsustainable condo skyline going up in his city. He thumps this sort of development in the context of rising environmental consciousness in the building arts and sciences generally. “[W]e will look back at these early 21st-century towers much as we do now at suburbia,” Hume writes. “Too often, architectural elegance hides inner ecological ugliness.” He adds, pleasantly enough: “Landscape architects have been quicker to grasp this new reality that the built environment remains part of the larger environment.”
