The theory "Bauhaus" is presented by Walter Gropius. Gropius combined two Germany words, which were "Bau" and "Haus". “Haus” means house and “bau” means building (Tian, 2015). "Bauhaus" is created after World War I. The building in Western countries must be designed with a simple and functional structure to save cost because of the serious economic crisis (Gong, 2014). Three factors: "Deutscher Werkbund", "Russian Constructivism" and "De Stijl", influenced the concept of design about "Bauhaus"

architectural spaces liveliness. Accordingly, he criticized the attitude of the modern architects who follow the modernism common maxim (form following function and so the belief in having just one meaning) in their works (e.g. The Seagram building designed by Mies van der Rohe). Mies’ Seagram has only one function and then has one meaning, Venturi said while, on the other hand, Mies had claimed that the flexibility is a necessity.
An architect’s goal is to design appropriately to the time. In the mid to late twentieth century post-modernist such as Venturi found the purism and oversimplification of modernism lacking. Venturi recognized that the world is not simple in nature, but full of complexity and contradictions. Post-modernists aim for an implicit richness of meaning through complexity and contradiction rather than an oversimplified blatant clarity of meaning. A building is basically comprised of a variety of paradoxes
The TD Centre is a landmark of Toronto. It is one of the most recognizable elements of the downtown core. It has gained this status for two main reasons.

Black smoke stained the sky and scarlet blood darkened the earth, as global war, once again, ravaged twentieth-century society. The repercussions of the Second World War rippled across the Atlantic and spread like an infectious disease. As the morality of humankind appeared to dissipate with each exploding bomb, anxiety, frustration, and hopelessness riddled the American public and began to spill into the art of New York City’s avant-garde (Paul par. 4).
