Approaching the Sharp Centre for Design at the Ontario
College of Art & Design (OCAD) it's difficult to not
feel shock at the sight of a black and white box with colored
stilts. The shock gives way to the now proverbial awe as one
senses the underside of the two-story object raised about
eight stories above the street. But has Will
Alsop (with local architect Robie
Young + Wright Architects) created something that will
stand the test of time, or a goofy one- or two-liner?
