The Globe and Mail

Toronto is still looking for a residential skyscraper style to call its own. Of the city's tall buildings coming off the assembly line or already constructed, we have unconvincing knockoffs of New York's stylish apartment blocks, circa 1930, and some sleek glass towers that read like bad translations of Hong Kong or Vancouver originals. And then there is the litter of big loopy items from heaven knows where, billowing on the ground like downed blimps and variously topped off with silly hats or flood-lit steeples or even (in one project at Harbourfront) horns. What's largely missing is a crop of new buildings that look like they grew up here.
