Sun Life Centre, West Tower, Toronto
The Sun Life Centre (WZMH Architects, 1984) consists of two buildings on the northwest and northeast corners of the intersection of King Street and University Avenue. The buildings seem at first glance to be mirror images of each other, but this one is 24 storeys tall and its companion has 28 storeys.
Many people complain about the proliferation of overhead wires in Toronto, but they make me feel as if I'm living in a sculpture. Which I enjoy.

As for the overhead wires, here as always you expertly show how to use them for best effect.
I'm not sure I'll ever "enjoy" the ones I encounter in our city, but I agree that at times they can add a sculptural element. But I would probably not miss them if they weren't there, preferring trees myself.

Toronto has actually been doing things to free trees from servitude, mainly giving their roots more room to grow. Dying trees were humanely removed from Berczy Park -- an overcrowded concentration camp for trees, so that the remaining trees could live. On University Avenue some trees on the sidewalk have been given more room for their roots to grow under the sidewalk.
