These buildings are looking glorious!
That's how I feel about them too. Given how vastly superior these towers are to all the mediocre designs around them in MCC, they are really out of place. It's as if a whole step in architectural maturity has been skipped (kind of like how many people in Africa went from having no phones straight to cell phones instead of landlines), making for a very jarring experience. I apologize in advance for my insensitive statement as I know Mississaugans here will cringe, but these towers are way, way ahead of their time - ie. far too good for where they are, essentially a waste. It's akin to Tiger Woods playing an amateur golf tournament for a 50 dollar gift card to Walmart.
It does not fulfill planning objectives either
+1. Tired of the trolls around here lately. They have no appreciation for architecture, only starchitecture. And if it's outside of the downtown core, it's not good enough for them. *GAG*People need to grow up!
These buildings really are a waste in Mississauga. In Toronto they would have been seen by people all over the GTA and from all over the world. But in Mississauga, who would see them besides the people who shop at Square One? It does not fulfill planning objectives either, putting these buildings in such an inhospitable and sterile environment.

Front and center in some familiar Canadian skyline.
Good design belongs everywhere. The constant, insecure demonizing of the 905 as somewhere where bad design somehow "belongs" is as absurd as the notion that the "Marilyn" towers are too good for the 905.
The Marilyn towers stick out like a handsome thumb.
