Description
Detail view of steel and glass at the Toronto-Dominion Center in Toronto, Ontario designed by Mies van der Rohe and completed in 1967. "Toronto-Dominion Centre follows the theme of the darkly coloured, rigidly ordered, steel and glass edifice set in an open plaza, itself surrounded by a dense and erratic, pre-existing urban fabric. The T-D Centre, however, comprises a collection of structures spread across a granite plinth, all regulated, in three dimensions, and from the largest scale to the smallest, by a mathematically ordered, 1.5 m2 (16 sq ft) grid,"--from from Toronto, Canada by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in Architectuul.
