A complex project is always subject to change. But Moshe Safdie says his Toronto design was part of a ‘bait and switch’ deception
Moshe Safdie is annoyed. One of the world’s best-known architects, Mr. Safdie feels he was misused and manipulated by a group of Toronto real-estate developers.
His clients, led by Craft Development Corp., counter that their project is simply changing to respond to the city’s concerns. “This tactic, starting with a very seductive scheme with a lot of goodies and then in the process these are cut back, is a deceiving process,” Mr. Safdie says. “And the city of Toronto should beware.”
He wants it made clear that he has nothing to do with the current scheme. He strenuously dislikes some aspects of its urban design, most notably the large garages for above-ground parking, which present a wall along part of Front Street.
