 Absolute de Mississauga Tower

Imposing, statuesque and endowed with an undulating sequence of curves, it's no surprise that the first of MAD Architects' mesmerising Absolute Towers has been nicknamed 'Marilyn Monroe' by smitten locals. 'Marilyn' is part of the Absolute Condos project in Canada's sixth largest city, Mississauga, where Beijing-based MAD saw fit to embrace not only a global trend for curvaceous skyscrapers but for satellite developments to express the town's own individuality.
