While sporadic condominium and apartment towers have popped up alongside the Don valley, none standout quite like the Aga Khan Museum + Ismaili Centre, currently under construction just north of Eglinton and the DVP....Article by Alex Corey and more construction photographs at UrbanToronto.ca.

Steel soars at future Ismaili Centre in Toronto
With its orientation towards Mecca, the soaring glass and steel roof of the prayer hall of the soon-to-be completed Ismaili Centre in Toronto will be a visible reminder of the faith of its members who belong to the Shia Imami Ismaili Muslim community.
It’s also a testimony to the detailed design, engineering, construction, and installation process that has been invested in the building, situated on a 6.8-hectare site adjacent to the Aga Khan Museum in the Wynford Drive/Don Valley Parkway area.

Steel hurdles for Aga Khan Museum build – Daily Commercial News
Fabricating and erecting 740 tons or so of structural steel required for the Aga Khan Museum in Toronto posed a series of unusual hurdles.
One of those hurdles was how to attach the steel frame for the second floor to the first floor — an inward-sloping poured-in-place concrete wall.
“Our connections to the concrete wall had to be fairly substantial to transfer the forces to make the building stand up,” says Rob Morrison, project manager, Benson Steel, supplier/erector for the job.
Another challenge for the big steel fabricator/erector was the installation of six steel-framed hexagonal skylights. Made of an HSS steel frame, the offsite-assembled 4.7 by 4-metre shaped skylights had to be carefully erected and placed on sloped sections of the roof, says Morrison.
The museum’s new auditorium features a steel “dome-like” roof. The 18 by 18-metre frame was assembled in segments on site and hoisted by crane into place.
