So T.O. — who's the Pugliest of them all? Condos

Archiseek / Canada / News / 2006 / June 7

Now we know it all: the good, the bad and the Pugly. The results of the second annual Pugly Awards were released yesterday and, once again, it was the condos that scored the worst. The prizes, based on a month-long web poll, included 15 major buildings, all of which were completed and occupied in 2005. Divided into residential and institutional/commercial categories, the results made it clear that private developers still lag behind their public-sector counterparts. The overall winner was the National Ballet School of Canada, designed by Toronto architectural firms Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg and Goldsmith, Borgal and Company Ltd. It received an approval rating of 78.3 per cent.
