Architects, what are you all using for project calendars / schedules / Gantt charts?
Excel? That’s what we use. Too much manual work.
Teamgantt? Tried it, clunky & ugly.
Anything else?

Over on Bsky
Discovered Craftdocs as an alternative to Notion. Really loving how much better the iPad & iPhone experience is.
Downside is no databases, but apparently they’re working on a similar feature.
Use cases that I can see working for me:
1. Knowledge Hub
2. Meeting Notes
3. Time Tracking
Paired with a project calendar/schedule app, and a task manager like OmniFocus, these 3 apps could make up my productivity suite.

Cost of Ontario Science Centre temporary location exceeds cost of roof repairs

Cost of Ontario Science Centre temporary location exceeds cost of roof repairs
The time required to set up a temporary location will mean that there is no Science Centre location for two years; the RFP also reveals that a new Science Centre at Ontario Place would not be ready until 2030-2034.
Coffee + iPad + OmniFocus to start my day

Matt ElliottCouncil votes 21-3 to APPROVE report allowing six-storey buildings and townhouses on major streets city-wide.
I would like to see Ontario/Toronto follow BC’s example and allow density as of right near transit stations.
8 stories blue area
12 stories pink area
20 stories green area
This is what we should be striving for.
Simply put, it isn’t dense enough, and has no office component. Other TODs along the Ontario Line have far more density proposed, like Thorncliffe Park, Don Mills/Eglinton, East Harbour.
This is the future interchange between two major lines. We should be seeing Yonge-Eglinton-Yonge level density here.
Transit oriented development at Pape Station - link to a summary by more transit southern Ontario.
• great street approach with mid block connections and active frontages
• architecturally it’s a nice rational design. Nothing flashy, just a solid residential building.
It’s a huge improvement over the existing, but our approach to TOD as a city doesn’t go far enough👇
