Some architecture links
Some architecture links: another piece about Eaton’s ninth floor has a few nice photos; Dezeen looks at a new residential building in the Technopôle Angus (which it describes as “outside Montreal” and “northeast of Montreal proper”); that building received one of the Prix d’excellence en architecture awards that were given out this month for projects in Quebec, several others of which are in Montreal, including the project at Rosemont metro and a wee shoebox house refit.

The comments on Dezeen are always entertaining. If you ever want to know the many ways in which someone can hate a building, check it out.
Also, this comment from someone purporting to live in Montreal is a real head-scratcher: “Very hard [in Montreal] to find a restaurant or a cafe where you can sit outside even if the weather is good.”
I can’t think of many restaurants or cafés that *don’t* have outdoor seating.

There are already summer terrasses out in some neighbourhoods…

Yep. Nobody’s sitting outside today, but several places near me in Villeray have their terrasses out.
