Designed by MAD Architects, the Absolute Towers located in , Canada are nearing completion, and we are sharing with you the latest under construction photographs byJason Zytynsky. Serving as a gateway to the city beyond, the towers’ facade contains a continuous balcony wrapping the entire building.  In 2006 competed and won the international competition to design the towers.

More images after the break.

no le veo contenido a las torres, solo demuestra el egocentrismo de las coorporaciones. Esto es la arquitectura de hoy dia?… buaaaa!!!… es para tener miedo!

Suburbs of Southern Ontario REPRESENT: letting Chinamen phallic-ize our low-density residential wastelands. Seriously though… wasn’t our infamous PoMo City Hall enough punishment?

You’ve got da wrong address. These buildings are clearly not in downtown or Toronto for the matter.
Its actually in neighbor Mississauga Municipality, Pop: 734,000.

Definitely out of the ordinary, alright.

At least it’s an inspiration for future architects to do something out of the ordinary, otherwise we will perish in mediocrity.. Interiors of this would be nice.. But to be honest, doesn’t the photograph of the surrounding look similar to somewhere/nowhere China anyways? See for yourselves..

While downtown Mississauga is not exactly like Toronto, these unique condos certainly puts Mississauga in another league keyword phrase. You have to admit they are #hashtag different
