Sinuous Flow

While Montreal may be the first Canadian city that comes to mind, when thinking of progressive design and architecture, Toronto boasts an art museum that is on the cutting edge of architectural splendor. Completed by the awfully talented architect, Frank Gehry, the Art Gallery of Ontario went through a major renovation, with Gehry spearheading the effort. The sinuous staircases and ramps that wind through the gallery create a pedestrian flow that is both creative and logical. The outer glass façade represents a ship wading through the city. The building’s exterior also acts to interconnect the gallery with the rest of Toronto with its open views and reflective frontage.
