"Dubbed the 'Marilyn Monroe building' because of its bountiful curves, it was designed by Beijing-based firm, MAD."
"MAD's highrise will be the most recognizable structure in Mississauga. Located at the corner of Hurontario St. and Burnhamthorpe Rd., it will be within walking distance of the city's only other landmark — Square One Shopping Centre excepted — and that's its city hall, designed in the early 1980s by Ed Jones and Michael Kirkland. It was also chosen by a competition, but in that case, the scope was national, not global. Still, the building is considered a post-modern classic, visited by architects from around the world."
