Toronto-Dominion Centre
1969Toronto, Canada
Black towers and low pavilions in downtown Toronto—a large-scale Canadian deployment of Mies’s vocabulary.
Key: multi-tower layout, plaza, and a unified curtain wall. Read the urban block as a set, not a single tower.
Highlights
- Tower skyline — How do height differences and placement create hierarchy?
- Low banking hall pavilion — How does publicness differ between tower and low pavilion?
