Design isn’t always a straight line. Before Toronto's iconic City Hall was finalized, architect Viljo Revell submitted several different models as his concept for City Hall evolved. In 1958, Toronto held an international competition to reimagine its City Hall. We've recreated the original competition models here at the CMA to help tell that story. Model 1: Revell’s initial concept Model 2: After feedback, more detail and formality. Model 3: The final design, approved by City Council and now a landmark in Toronto’s skyline. Design evolves through exploration, feedback, and iteration. These recreated models reflect that process. 👉 Which version speaks to you the most- the concept, the evolution, or the final icon? … #Toronto #architecture #UrbanDesign #process #CityHall #design #competition #ModelMaking
