Modern Architecture In Toronto

Toronto Modern Arch Libeskind Museum

If you are a fan of modern architecture, as I am, you will surely enjoy taking a look around Toronto, as there are many examples of daring and not so daring modern architecture that will surely delight! The photo above is the architect Dahiel Libeskind's extension of the Royal Ontario Museum called the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal, completed in 2007. This project was so controversial tha tit was built such that the new extension could be disassembled if need be, namely it does not touch the old building in any destructive way.
