3. WILL ALSOP THOUGHTS FROM <strong>OCAD</strong><br />
"Sitting on a deep windowsill, I stare out towards a sinking sun that<br />
catches the planes as they descend to the airport.<br />
The deep perspective of the view contrasts with the experience of the paper<br />
I am working on. The opportunities in this new building <strong>for</strong> escaping from<br />
our work are numerous and important. When working, there is nothing<br />
precious in the architecture which might be inhibiting, no stylistic<br />
fantasies to distract and no excessive architectural idea <strong>for</strong> theorists to<br />
confirm or contradict their own views.<br />
Often I sit in the landscape at the southern end under the table top and<br />
listen to the local residents as they enjoy this new public space. I once<br />
overheard the architect confide to someone that he thought this was his best<br />
work to date. This is <strong>for</strong>tunate <strong>for</strong> Toronto!"<br />
