Ugliest Places

Bloor Dundas Square

Concrete was invented by the Romans - you'd think by now someone would have figured out its poor response to Toronto's rain and sun, freeze and thaw?

Bloor Dundas Square

this building is an eyesore, even without the Soviet-style stained and crumbling concrete

Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel

Many sins were committed in the name of modernism, and the Sheraton Centre is one of the worst.

Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel

it was Toronto's tragedy that we replaced them (theatres and storefronts) with this monstrous slab of hotel rooms and pedestrian-repellent concrete.

St. Clair Place

I call it "poo-brown"… This could be a fantastic 'flatiron' building (Vaughan meets Bathurst here at a 45 degree angle)... but we're met with a wasteland of wasted opportunity.

Hudson's Bay Centre

Located as it is at the very heart of the city, it's hard to ignore this brutalist monstrosity

Canadian Tire

They plop down the same cookie-cutter, one storey design everywhere, so on the Danforth we're left with a 100+ metre wall of dead sidewalk.

Sidney Smith Hall

Sidney Smith Hall at the University of Toronto may be the ugliest building I've ever seen with my own eyes.

Sidney Smith Hall

Sidney Smith main floor women’s washroom: always a line between classes, usually filthy, but the sinks have a very nice water stream, 4/10

The Great Library

...what might be the most beautiful room in Toronto: the Great Library

via online review

The Great Library

My preference to visit is a quiet lunchtime stop when you can stroll around the space, take in its majesty, and then return to your day thinking the world is a bit prettier than it was before you entered.

The job of an artist is to offer a sanctuary of beauty to an ugly world.
