One of downtown Toronto's earliest modern high-rise projects remains one of the most striking even after almost fifty years. Completed in 1965, architect Viljo Revell's City Hall and Nathan Phillips Square has been a landmark, a meeting place, and the centre of municipal government for just shy of a half century, and its mid-20th-century vision of modernism still feels futuristic today, decades after being designed. In today's Photo of the Day, submitted to the UrbanToronto Flickr Pool by Vik Pahwa, we focus in on the 'saucer' that sits atop City Hall's podium, between the two curved towers.
