I don’t know if you are for or against this but holy fuck get some help. That was unintelligible.
Take it easy, Im fine, i was directing that towards the
landlords“investors” exploiting and exacerbating this crisis.Just needed a lil context. Mea culpa
Edit: also that’s not a helpful or usually successfull approach to coaxing people towards help. Do you really talk to people like that and believe you’re making the medicine at all palatable? Legit curious, like that was so abrasive
What does this word salad have to do with Office to Residential conversions in Ottawa?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
From the stark concrete of the National Arts Centre to the angular blocks of the public library’s main branch, dozens of brutalist buildings are scattered throughout Ottawa’s downtown.
Beyond an iconic appearance, the polarizing style of post-war architecture may play a role in the city’s efforts to convert vacant office buildings into housing, according to a new report.
In the post-war era, brutalist designs helped governments fulfill a “deep social need” by engaging in massive civic projects, creating arts and culture spaces and rapidly building housing, she said.
Early projects in Ottawa, such as the Department of National Defence building on Colonel By Drive, tended to embrace the stark concrete façade associated with the style.
Today, the presence of brutalism in Ottawa is “pretty representative” of most mid-sized Canadian cities, according to Gelbard, but key federal buildings make its use “a little bit more iconic.”
Public Services and Procurement Canada is looking to unload nine of its buildings across the region, meaning Ottawa’s conversion prospects rely heavily on the whims of a single employer.
