Toronto - New City Hall

Dominating the spacious Nathan Philips Square with its bronze sculpture "The Archer" by Henry Moore is the still highly acclaimed new City Hall, designed by the gifted Finnish architect Viljo Revell and built in 1965. It consists of two arc-shaped high-rise blocks (20 and 27 stores high respectively), wrapped around a lower central building topped by a flattened cupola (housing the chamber in which meetings of the Toronto and Greater Toronto councils are held).
