Under a temperature of -20 oC, I still managed to get to Nathan Phillip Square. To my surprise, a lot of childrens and young lovers were there skating. Around the Square is the New City Hall, the Old City Hall, Osgoode Hall (place for justice), the Sheraton Hotel, TD bank pavillion, Eaton centre, and other commercial buildings.
What i like most about the square is the skating rink in winter. I enjoy watching people skate to the soft music on the square under the sun. But i feel that there needs to be more interaction between the people and the square. The music does interact with the people, but something visual would be nice. Although today was so cold, almost 1 school bus of people were there. People made the square, without them, the square is nothing. What i did'nt like was that i had to sit on cold benches....maybe they could provide benches with heating installed to make the winter experience more pleasant.
One thing I thought of was moving the skate rental into the building i'm proposing, and giving it a better place. Cause right now, the skate rentals is inside a poorly design box no different from portables from primary school.
And there is this amazing collection of how the square was built inside the city hall, i never would have realize it if i wasn't looking for a hide out place from the cold.
