Architect Uno Prii Left His Mark On The Area

Ever wonder about that "space age," groovy apartment building at 100 Spadina? It sprang from the imagination of architect Uno Prii.
He designed approximately 250 buildings in Toronto and people either love or hate his work, according to Torontoist.
Personally, I have "no strong feeling one way or the other" -- a favourite phrase of my teenage son -- but I thought that you might enjoy reading about his work.
Cheers,

Uno Prii walking tour Feb 21

Have you ever mosied down Walmer Road and marvelled at its circular and wavy shapes? Not only is Walmer itself wavy from Bloor to Kendal, where it intersects with Lowther there is a roundabout, one of the few in the city.
The apartment buildings lining the street also sport a lot of waves and circles. Some of it is the"ultra groovy" work of Estonian-born architect Uno Prii -- yeah baby! -- who created most of his buildings during the swinging '60s and '70s.
If you'd like to know more about him, be sure to reserve a space for a two-hour Feb. 21st walking tour of his Annex apartment buildings. The cost is $20 and the tour is two hours long.
Cheers,
Vanessa
