"Robarts Library, the 1973-built brutalist brainchild of firm Mathers & Haldenby, is a gargantuan 14-storey block of concrete that houses the University of Toronto’s book collection. Despite its hard appearance it has a rather soft nickname – the Peacock – thanks to the resemblance it bears to the bird."
