234 Bay Street Toronto, ON M5K 1B2 Canada +1 416 363 6121 http://www.dx.org/ |
Canada's only design promotion centre, this gallery exhibits the latest in fashion, graphic design and ergonomics. Named after its location in the former Toronto Stock Exchange building, the centre also boasts the original trading floor, with its historic murals intact. The mural depicting "Work" is particularly fascinating, with its use of colour and technique. International, national and local designers are on display in the exhibition hall and, while there is an admission charge to view their creations, the Design Effectiveness Centre is free. Admission: CAD8 adults; CAD5 students and seniors. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Shapes of the City |
49 Wellington Street E (Front & Wellington at Church) Toronto, ON M5E 1C9 Canada |
At Yonge and Wellington, between Scott and Church, is an historic triangle of bricks and mortar known locally as the Flatiron Building. In an earlier life this was the Gooderham Building and home to the corporate offices of the Gooderham and Worts Distillery empire. A mirror image mural of the Perkins Building located across the street, painted by renowned Canadian artist Derek Besant, adds colour to an already remarkable structure. The pub in the basement is a popular haunt, and features a massive outdoor patio that overlooks one of the richest architectural areas of the city. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Awe-inspiring architecture |
65 Front St West (at Bay Street) Toronto, ON M5J 1E6 Canada +1 416 393 4636 http://www.ttrly.com/ |
Truly a Toronto monument, this Via Rail/GO train/subway station, which stretches along a block of Front Street, was opened in 1927 by the Prince of Wales. Classically designed, there are elements of simplicity mixed with grandeur in the architecture of this 750-foot long hall. While strolling along the concourse, you will see arched windows, enormous pillars and Italian tile gracing the high ceilings. The station serves as the U-joint in the Toronto Transit Commission's Yonge subway line, as well as a terminal for GO Transit, Via Rail and Ontario Northland railroad. Review © 2007, Wcities |
