The end of the construction boom means the end of this kind of architecture:
Designed by MAD, and completed at the end of last year, The Absolute Towers in Mississauga, Canada, will help us to feel less sadness about the passing of that period, that boom, that obnoxious blast of a time.
Charles Mudede—who writes about film, books, music, and his life in Rhodesia, Zimbabwe, the USA, and the UK for The Stranger—was born near a steel plant in Kwe Kwe, Zimbabwe. He has no memory... More by Charles Mudede
I like how you bail on your hypertard last post just to say “Durrrr, bendy buildings!”
These buildings will serve as a beautiful background as people to and from the various Romanian strip clubs that teem and multiply in the greater Mississauga area. Or so I’ve heard.
As the spider knows only how to be a spider, Mudede knows only how to be Mudede.
All I remember about this area is that there’s pretty much nothing there.
It’s kinda boring in Mississauga.
All I know about Mississauga I learned from the Hidden Cameras. Goddam!
Somebody really blew it. Mississauga should have been in Mississippi.
Cool buildings, though.
The Chicago Spire is sort of on hold, so you may be right, but then again it may still go up. Calatrava has apparently filed a lien on the building for unpaid fees.
Those buildings would rock in Tokyo. But Mississauga? Ugh.
How is Mudede pronounced? I’ve been saying “Moo-day-day” in my head. Is that right or wrong?
It’s pronounced Muh-Dik, #11
Mississauga is a blight upon this planet. Short of big box stores and office buildings holding thousands of workers outsourced from american high tech companies…there just isn’t a lot there.
Mississauga is not so bad, considering it’s citizen/employmee rate (the amount of people that live and work in ‘Sauga) is 70% where has true suburban cities have citizen/employee rates lower than 30%, it’s a pretty booming city. It’s also the 6th largest in all of Canada, and our mayor bathes in the blood of virgins to continue serving us 🙂
That entire area is undergoing an enormous overhaul that will try to create a downtown core in the city of over 700,000.
Yes, yes, I’m biased because I live here but compared to the other suburbs in the surrounding area and how ridiculously expensive TO is, ‘Sauga aint so bad.
Look how twisty muh dik is!!!
