Theme Day - "Squares"
The May theme for the City Daily Photo Blogs is "Squares" and I thought that this sculpture fits that perfectly. It is found on one of the walls near an entrance into the Medical Science Building at U of Toronto and was designed by artist Robert Downing who was also the designer of the wonderful concrete facade of this building which is an example of Brutalist design at its best. The sculpture was created in 1967 during the construction of the building. I'll show you a section of the building's facade tomorrow.

ReplyDeleteYou have a winner here, Jan, er, RedPat. However much I DON'T like the brutalism style, I DO love this sculpture.

ReplyDeleteI like brutalism. these squares, though are a bit messy for me. I feel a need to tidy them up :)
ReplyDeleteNice choice for theme day.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool! You just reminded me of squares in Halifax at a museum!

ReplyDeleteIt certainly works perfectly for your City Daily theme. And is a fascinating photo.
ReplyDeletePS: I'm sorry you had trouble commenting on my blog. Typepad (my blog platform) was hit with an awful cyber attack last week and they are still recovering -- tweaking things. Hopefully all is well now.
Thousands of square ;)
