Absolute World is on its way to become Mississauga’s tallest building. Its curvy rotating design is its most striking feature and in my opinion it is the most creatively designed sky scraper in the GTA.

Ever since construction started people kept telling me that the building’s design was inspired by Marilyn Monroe’s curvy features or that the building was designed after her body. It seemed odd to me since the moment I heard it. What kind of an architect intentionally designs a building in the form of a particular woman?And Marilyn Monroe of all people; she’s been dead for ages! It didn’t seem right. I decided to do some research and and wallah! In the interview below the architect himself explains that he didn’t design the building in Marilyn’s figure, or any other woman’s figure for that matter.
