Exercise Five: Claudia Kwon


Bay Adelaide Centre (333 Bay Street, Toronto)

1. The Bay Adelaide Centre is a signature tower in downtown Toronto featuring two dramatic glass “sails” that extend above the structure´s façade. A pristine prism clad in clear glass, the project will feature a major public art contribution, integrated with the building architecture, by the world renowned lighting artist James Turrell.

2. While there are a number of development projects currently underway in the city, Bay Adelaide Center will be the only commercial tower in the financial core district built to a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold Standard.

3. Adhering to strict building efficiency guidelines, using environmentally friendly materials and practices, and ensuring maximum recycling of building materials, Bay Adelaide Centre West will also feature state-of-the-art operating and life safety systems.
