The ROM Crystal seems to be growing on top of the old museum structure like some sort of mineral deposit. My wife hates the Crystal, but I like it. I like that it doesn't look like a traditional building. I like that it takes chances with architecture. God save us from boring boxes of glass and steel - give me something that challenges my perceptions of what a building can be. It doesn't have to be outrageous, like the Crystal, or like the OCAD building, but at least make it visually interesting.
