Toronto City Hall, designed by Finnish architect Viljo Revell, opened in 1965. Toronto’s midcentury-modernist civic-centre extravaganzas were threesomes: City Hall’s arcing asymmetrical office towers embracing the central clamshell-like council chamber and a few blocks away, Mies’s contemporaneous Toronto-Dominion Centre comprising two office towers rising behind a banking pavilion. (The faux-Miesian towers subsequently stuffed onto the TD Centre site does owner Cadillac Fairview no credit.)
