the truth is out there, and its in the heart of downtown toronto

what the actual fuck

this is toronto’s cultural pride and joy and it is slowly being consumed by an alien spacecraft

A significant portion of the city looks like this actually. Toronto’s aesthetic seems to be “real old buildings being devoured by real new buildings.” And like sometimes you have houses that look like a 12 year old’s first minecraft build sorta jammed between Victorian era stone houses it’s real fuckin weird

I feel like ocad and the ago should be added to this because holy shit toronto’s buildings are weird as fuck

THESE LOOK LIKE VIDEO GAME GLITCHES ARE WE SURE TORONTO ISN’T SECRETLY A GIANT GLITCH IN THE MATRIX??

What i’m getting from this is that Toronto is home to Missingno.

speaking of bad buildings

they seemed to have not centred the u of t sign in the glass, decided to just say screw it and extend it off the building and then add a solid O at the end just to add to that toronto aesthetic™

REBLOGGING FOR THE GIANT O BECAUSE IT IS MY ACTUAL NEMESIS.

I used to fucking work right at that corner of the University of Toronto. I saw it regularly. So much hate.

Fun fact. If you Google “Kleenex box on stilts” (including quotes) the first result is OCAD

@themightyif

I’m kind of surprised that no iteration of this post so far has included Robarts Library, the library built to look like a Turkey:

When my spouse first saw the rendering for the OCAD expansion he thought it was a joke to inspire architects to come up with a real design.

I’m actually kind of fond of Robarts though. It looks like Darth Vader’s townhouse.

Also the Absolute Towers/”Marilyn Monroe Buildings” in Mississauga are pretty sweet:

The one good thing about the ROM expansion was that it gave them room to display MORE DINOSAURS. So they told their new associate curator of palaeontology “your first job is to get us a sauropod skeleton.” He starts contacting other museums, etc., and he’s flying out to a dig, when he comes across a line in a journal that says the ROM *already* has a barosaur. So he turns around, goes back and starts checking the museum records. 

As it happens the museum *had* acquired a barosaur back in 1962, but didn’t have room to set it up. 

So it was filed as several different line items. 

And everyone just kind of forgot they had it. 

It’s now up in the new wing. Its nickname is “Gordo.”
