$12.00

The most visual architecture guide to Toronto ever published – more than 60 stunning buildings, designed by some of the world’s greatest architects, presented on a beautifully illustrated map to accompany you on your next trip to “Tkaronto”.

Toronto’s architectural landscape is woven with threads of history, modernity, and cultural diversity. From the Toronto Dominion Centre by Mies van der Rohe and the towering skyscrapers of the Financial District to the historic facades of the Distillery District, the city’s architecture tells a story of growth and adaptation. Iconic landmarks like the CN Tower, City Hall by Viljo Revell, and Sharp Centre for Design at OCAD by Will Alsop (cover image) stand as testaments to Toronto’s ambition and innovation.

The city’s multicultural identity finds expression in its architecture as well, with mosques, temples, churches, and synagogues dotting the skyline alongside contemporary condominiums and sleek office towers. The Royal Ontario Museum’s bold crystalline addition, designed by Daniel Libeskind, adds a striking contrast to the traditional architecture nearby, symbolizing Toronto’s embrace of modern design.

Moreover, Toronto’s commitment to sustainability is evident in its eco-friendly buildings and campuses, such as the nature-led Terrence Donnelly Centre for the University of Toronto by Behnisch Architekten.

As Toronto continues to evolve, its architecture remains a dynamic reflection of its people, culture, and aspirations.

This thoroughly researched architecture guide is a must-have for architecture enthusiasts of all ages. It makes travel planning effortless and boasts an up-to-date curated list of buildings not found anywhere else; the perfect pocket-companion for your next trip abroad.
