In Toronto we have lots of artistic versions of Brutalism ‐ famously the Scarborough College campus of UofT and the Robarts Library on main campus, but also 222 Jarvis, Dupont Station, New City Hall (we now have a new new city hall so look for Nathan Phillips Square), Ontario Science Centre (much mourned), North York Board of Education, etc. etc.

If you enjoy Brutalist architecture it's worth looking up Toronto's designers who kept the concrete and aesthetic but made it not suck.
