The Sharp Centre for Design, a 2004 expansion of OCAD University further south on McCaul Street between Dundas Street West and Queen Street West, is one of the most striking buildings in Toronto. The Sharp Centre consists of a box four storeys off the ground, supported by a series of differently-coloured pillars positioned at different angles to the Earth. The tabletop analogy provided by Wikipedia works as well as any. This way, OCAD has more space while vital park and pedestrian space is kept.
