Sun Life Centre, West Tower, Toronto

Sun Life Centre, West Tower, Toronto
The Sun Life Centre (WZMH Architects, 1984) consists of two buildings on the northwest and northeast corners of the intersection of King Street and University Avenue. The buildings seem at first glance to be mirror images of each other, but this one is 24 storeys tall and its companion has 28 storeys.

Many people complain about the proliferation of overhead wires in Toronto, but they make me feel as if I'm living in a sculpture. Which I enjoy.

A good point, José, and one I hadn't really considered. One to work on, too. Thanks.

I'm glad I read all the comments, otherwise I'd have made a fool of myself repeating just what Jean has said.............which is quite sufficient, I think!

As Keith said.:-) As always your image demonstrates the compositional elements available in large cities.

Thanks, George. You've mentioned an important issue for me. There is indeed great opportunity for composition in cities, and cities are composed environments in the first place, Well, they are in the New World, anyway. The British laid out Toronto in squares of roads, each square containing 1,000 acres, for example. Regardless of topography. But most city-dwellers ignore all that. How much fuller their lives would be if they paid attention to the city they were passing through. Well, I think they'd be fuller (or more nearly full, as some people prefer).
