Great building. Don't think anyone lives there though, which is a shame to such a great architecture.
This is outside the City Hall in downtown Guelph, an area that received a new design recently. I'm fond of those small ornamental islands, my only question is if the trees are going to survey. It looks like the planting beds are quite small. Maybe to tiny to give them enough water, nutritions and space for the roots to grow. But who knows, they might used skeleton soil.
This is Nathan Phillips Square, a square located in the city center of Toronto. This pic is so much Canada and I like it. It's impressive how ice skating can draw so many peoples attention. Sweden should so look in to Canada and plan for more ice rinks in the cities.
A nice walk by the Toronto waterfront.
I just can´t help it, but I really fancy the golden skyscrape together with the black skyscrapes designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. It's unreal how buildings created in 1960 still pass through as modern architecture.
Toronto Islands, it's stunning how flat they are.
I think this pic give you a sense how Toronto is constructed, in a grid pattern like a lot of other big cities. The thing I love with this view is how the freeway are winding out of the city, leading the eye away...
A view of Toronto from the CN Tower. Its like the city never ends. I like how those skyscrapers are poking up here and there in a mix with lower houses and how they in the end, close to the horizon, are matched up with the color of the sky.
