Landmarks and Monuments: Residential Complexes in Toronto’s Periphery

The residential complexes in the periphery of
Toronto are definitive landmarks: markers of
boundary and locality, points of orientation,
representations of an instance and turning point
in time, and structures of compelling historical
and aesthetic interest. Their monumental
significance is belied by a lack of conscious
popular awareness of their presence and status.
By presenting these buildings as consequential
architecture, I aim to stimulate discourse about
their role in our city.
