Hatching

I love you my neighborhood!

As part of an urban design idea competition mandated by the Ville-Marie borough, the Quartier des spectacles is being honored in a revitalization strategy.

The request”concerns in particular the issues related to the development of new residential typology and the urban planning of the Quartier des spectacles – Pôle du Quartier latin, in Montreal.” [1]

Our ECLOSION project offers a symbolic vision through an urban walk in collaboration with the urban workshop.

Coming out of the egg

-New releases for rapid hatching from underground to surface.

-Removal of underground connections that do not give direct access to the docks.

-Saint-Denis welcomes terraces and pedestrians, the car lanes being preserved in winter and in the morning.

Walking on eggshells

-Openings in the pavement for an impression of the metro on the surface and vice versa.

-Enlarged metro access on Place Emilie Gamelin through a crossing building with walkway planted on the roof.

-Sound cut and intimacy found in the park.

-Reappearance of the old street grid in the park.

-Links between the built heritage: symbolic paving connecting the churches, including one integrated into UQAM, rue Sainte-Catherine

Break an egg

-Visual breakthroughs in the pavilions of UQAM Judith Jasmin and Hubert Aquin.

-Reception of shops on the ground floor
