I was up in Toronto for a few days this March, wandering the City alone, looking for the Art Gallery of Ontario, when the Sharp Centre came into view around a corner. I was stopped in my tracks.

My first impression was that it felt juvenile, though not in a pejorative sense. The way this enormous, checkered structure is hoisted in the air above an existing (and relatively staid) structure had the air of childish whimsey. I couldn't help but smile at the absurdity of it.
