Parkades are eyesores if you build eyesores.

Platform...it's weird. I kind of hate it. I watched it being built from the ground up. It's different than your typical box parkade but it's also an eyesore. It's a brutalist oval surrounded by spikes pointing into the sky. I have to look at it every single day. I don't enjoy it. Its interesting how it's a multiple use venue and how its designed to be turned into a different building if cars ever stop being a thing but it's just strangely uninspired and unfinished looking, especially from a higher vantage.
