, The Ontario Science Centre and Ontario Place include buildings created by Toronto’s finest architects in the 1960s and 1970s that exemplify and established our city as a leader of design and innovation globally. Neither should be repurposed or demolished! The genius of architects like Eb Zeidler and Raymond Moriayama created these milestones in the architectural development of this great city and their work should be preserved in their original form. Citizens of Toronto should insist that our government conserve and celebrate the work of our superb architectural heritage.
The citizens of Barcelona have spent many years completing Gaudi’s unfinished Sagrada Familia. If it were here, I feel the Ford government would demolish it and build a casino. The works of Toronto’s design and artistic community must be treated with the respect they deserve.
They have created a city to be proud of. Stop the destruction! Thank you for your recent article in the Star about art treasures in Toronto. Much appreciated! Did you know that there were carvings in honour of Canadian poetry around the walls of the original 100 Adelaide Street West building in 1928? These carvings were covered by a false ceiling and forgotten.
I do have photos, however. I am not sure why you didn’t include the Royal Ontario Museum Rotunda in your story. While the ROM continues to throw good money into , the iconic work of those (Canadian) artisans in the midst of the Depression is widely ignored.
Now that’s.
