"A drawing of the Canadian Museum of Human Rights to be built at the forks of the Red and Assiniboine rivers in Winnipeg."
No, it's not.

Please don't discriminate against blind photo editors.
This is the same picture as is in the Star and I see a GO Train in the background and a Front St. sign on a lamp post.
Is there a mixing of pictures or just what? Google the museum by name and look at the photographs. Nothing like what's above.
How silly of them...
Anyhow, here's a link to how the building they mention will actually look like
That's the whole point of the post, David.
The image is a scan from today's Star. You must have missed the "No, it's not."
"Due to be completed in 2007"
Is this actually happening? Seems unlikely.
Brilliant, the facist corporate institutional new headquaters of Canada's Human Rights Museum is in the shape of a boot coming down. Brilliant, who said street art is only on the street.
Cheers Xoro
The Star's error is even more ridiculous when you realize that the article the image is accompanying (linked to in the post) isn't about museums or cultural institutions in general but rather specifically the Museum of Human Rights in Winnipeg.
my god that is ugly. is toronto trying to have the worst architecture in the world?
WHY DO THEY KEEP SPENDING MILLIONS ON UGLIFYING TORONTO?!? It's one ugly expensive building after another. Yay, Toronto.
The funny thing is that this apartment building (resambling penis) was designed by Libenskind - by the way - do they proseed with building it?
Notice, if you will, that Libeskind's "boot" is actually stepping on the Hummingbird centre while at the same time apearing to give downtown Torornto a good swift kick in the arse.
Any tall building could be called phalic. No, this condo development is called "L" as in the architects name.
They have already begun advertising to sell the units.
Lebiskind seems to have a lot more respect for his own angst than he does for his building's contexts.
He buggers the ROM, he crushes the Hummingbird, he kicks downtown.
