New Designs For Frank Gehry’s 73-storey Forma

New renderings were revealed for Frank Gehry’s first residential tower in Canada and what will become his tallest building in the world.
A pattern of maple leaves adorns a sculptural installation inspired by the Group of Seven in the Gehry-designed east tower lobby—viewable for passersby. Curved wood furniture and accents, and limestone cladding of walls and flooring, contrast with the stainless steel tower exterior, which all take cues from historic city buildings that Gehry’s admired growing up.

“There is a feeling of Toronto that I had as a kid, and I wanted that to be in the DNA of our design,” said Gehry, of Gehry Partners LLP. “Every city in the world has its own light and the light is modified by the buildings in the city. I wanted this building to capture the essence of Toronto. It’s not like everywhere else. The light is different. The heritage is different. It’s a different place. I hope that is what people see when they look up.”
