Few architects have been gifted the power to change places to the degree that Frank Gehry has… or had. It’s difficult to know which tense to use to even describe it. While the Toronto-born master passed away in December, his legacy not only lives on, but is still growing. On King Street in Downtown Toronto, the first of two Forma towers is rising, this one to over 260m, and the second, if it ever goes up, to over 300m, supertall status, and a quite prominent spot on the skyline. To be clad in the same rippling and folded facade as this first Forma tower, the second would create a landmark site unlikely to be matched in the city for a generation. Even if it doesn’t go up, the first tower’s bravura exterior is already sure to become one of Toronto’s most recognizable symbols as Gehry’s legacy literally increases in size here.<\/p>\n
