Architecture in Toronto

This weekend I am heading back to Toronto for a visit with the family. While the visit is the primary purpose, I am extremely excited to check out some of the architectural projects happening around T.O.

The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) is nearing completion on it's massive addition by Daniel Libeskind. The enormous crystal jutting out of existing structure took a while to grow on me, but will be incredible to see now that the glass panelling is actually going up.

Down the road also in the downtown is the Art Gallery of Ontario. Truthfully I don't know much about this one, other than Frank Gehry (renowned architect ... means shit to me) is the the man behind it. Will be interesting to see it.

Other buildings I'm interested in seeing are the Ontario College of Art and Design and the Canadian Opera Company's new building. PHewwwwwww ... lots to see, but I am extremely excited. I've been terrible about posting photos, but will definitely have some for next week. Might even get a chance to monkey around with the new laptop!
