wow! looks like straight out of the artwork by.. uh.. i forget. it's one you see everywhere, the one with the fucked up perspectives like stairs appearing to go up but looked at a different way, they go down, etc. don't know if you know what i'm talking about though..

when is this extension due to be finished?

hey, we should do some winter activities like going to the ROM and AGO sometime! maybe on the cheap or free days. :)

M.C. Escher?

that staircase looks like fun! actually it's probably more fun to look at people walking on it rather than walking on it yourself.

Yeah, but I didn't have an LJ back then =)

It's like wow, new architecture! This hasn't happened in Toronto since... the new City Hall and OPG buildings! woot!

I pity the engineers that have to actually get these things to stand up. Damn crazy architects... they're everywhere..
