  • I sometimes wonder whether Frank Gehry actually reflects on the fact that, one day, he'll be dead, but people will still have to live and work with and in his monstrosities.

  • the past and the future meet at the ROM.

  • "With it's carved stone porch and its simple, symmetrical lines it speaks of a time when Toronto was run by a small group of transplanted English aristocrats who ruled the city from... places like this?" Not this place but... similar places... but geographically, different... so, where do the English aristocrats rule from now?

  • this guy talking sounds like hes on drugs hahahahah

  • "Harmoniously"? ... I think its time these architects stop smoking crack and look at the schlock their creating! Where does that hideous blue thing known as the AGO "blend in harmoniously" with the 180 year old building?

    BTW, in case noones noticed ... Toronto is NOT the centre of the perverbial universe. Wake up!

  • George Brown died in the house behind that angle from Beverley.
