This is the story of the rise and sprawl of the condo tower in Toronto.

The sheer number of new towers, their size, mass, volume, and height, let alone the speed by which they are being built, is remarkable. The only thing that isn’t remarkable about Toronto’s condominiums is their architecture. 'Rise and Sprawl' analyzes the recent condominiumization of Toronto. It is also a call to action to do things differently and design better, bolder buildings.

This is the story of the rise and sprawl of the condo tower in Toronto and how the city has become what it is today.
