Sharp Centre for Design
Designed by renowned British architect Will Alsop, the Sharp Center at the Ontario College of Art and Design is an inimitable building located in Toronto, Ontario. Completed in 2004, the centre houses the Faculty of Design and features a tabletop structure in crossword-style black and white that sits 26 meters above the ground. While the conspicuous structure constitutes a simple enough square, 12 coloured steel legs at odd angles are jammed into it like pencils and serve to hold the structure up. Striking even among the most unique of buildings, the centre received the Excellence Award in the "Building in Context" category by Toronto Architecture and Urban Design in 2005.
