Toronto's Crystal Cultural Renaissance Revival
So, the National Post takes note of the ROM addition as one of the new architectural wonders. Next, we hear of a cultural renaissance forged by the AGO, ROM, Gardiner Museum and Opera House. We are not sure if there is a cultural renaissance or just some big buildings being redesigned. There are also several new condominium towers perhaps re-inventing how we live. The Gehry building is a Gehry building here or in Cleveland. Modernism has been around for decades. Zinedine Zidane.
