Mississauga M3 at M City | 260.29m | 77s | Rogers Real Estate | Arcadis

I was thinking an actual family farm.
From aerial photos of the area when square one opened circa 1973, most of the land around the mall looked like family farms. But according to reports, Ted Rogers owned this land since the 60’s and I doubt if he farmed the land. His initial intention might’ve been for it to host Radio/telecom antennae.

Advertising vs reality.

Behind the scenes:


You can see how McDonald's Canada photographs its Quarter Pounder with Cheese.

Hint: The photographed burger is front-heavy and Photoshop is partially used to manipulate the photo

Yes, it's McDonald's Canada itself publicly admitting that the burger looks much better in the photo than in reality.
 
While M3 is the more pleasing of the three from that render (and assuming it will be built like that in the end), I have a hard time looking at M1 & 2. It looks like one of those interesting ideas that doesn't really work as a building - a twisty that doesn't really want to be a twisty? Either way, it's way too jarring, IMO.
