MGV QUEBEC, THE HIGH-SPEED MONORAIL
1
MGV Québec is a group that seeks to promote and create a high-speed monorail concept that can fit the needs for intercity transportation in Quebec as well as being an exportable technology for other regions and countries. Originally, this monorail concept came from my graduating project in Industrial Design, which was a collaborative work between the University of Montreal’s School of Industrial Design, the Polytechnique of Montreal and the HEC (High Commerce Studies). The goal was to create an innovative public transport for Quebec. After more than 8 months of intensive research, analysis and creation, the result of the collaboration between the various students fields of studies was UbiCiT, a suspended high-speed electric monorail concept answering the growing needs of Montreal’s public transit network. My task was to design the inside and the exterior of the monorail. In addition to that, the multidisciplinary aspect of the project needed the mechanical, electrical and economical criteria to be constantly respected. The infrastructures, developped by my fellow design student Maxime Couturier, was also a key part of the project’s integration.
The project received numerous awards including the first place for the ADIQ prize (Industrial Designers Association of Quebec) at the 2012 University of Montreal’s School of Industrial Design graduating students exhibit. During the same event, the project was also awarded the first place for the CQRDA prize (Aluminum Research and Development Center of Quebec). The project was even presented at «Découverte», a science show on Radio-Canada. www.facebook.com/mgvqc

UB1 UB1 is the monorail developed for the MGV Quebec network, formally known as UbiCiT during my graduating project. UB1 is an eco-friendly, economical and innovative solution to transportation problems in Quebec. Suspended at 8 meters above the ground, UB1 is therefore mostly seen from underneath. This particularity allows for unique design opportunities for the vehicle itself as well as for urban integration. Therefore, the extension, under the monorail, of its dominant lines and lighting takes advantage of the vehicle’s suspended aspect, while inspiring strength, speed and harmony in the design.
13
FINAL CONCEPT
14
The UB1 can transport up to 300 passengers, while facilitating access to persons with reduced mobility as well as cyclists due to its dynamic and fluid layout.

STABB-IT
21
Project realised with Kim B. Deland and Simon Hamel. The Stabb-it pencil holder was created during the HEC project, an intensive 2nd year of Industrial Design Shcool project. Lasting 4 weeks, the goal was to conceive and produce at least 12 copies of a product designed by a team of students. At the end of the project, the products are released at a special event at the HEC (High Commerce Studies), during which, all 21 Stabb-its were sold. Furthermore, the Stabb-it was also featured on Instructables, a very popular DIY website.
22
The Stabb-it is an original pencil holder made of reused cardboard sheets hold together by a nut and a bolt. Since the Stabb-it isn’t glued, it is possible to rotate the sheets and obtain interesting shapes. The product is packaged in a plastic box reminiscent of boxes of nails found in a hardware store. It’s also important to note that the Stabb-it is entirely recyclable.

KITCHEN SCALE
25
This kitchen scale was designed with a Norwegian student, Stian Andersen, during my semester at the Politecnico di Milano in 2011. The goal of the project was to conceive a kitchen scale using only mechanical processes. Therefore, there couldn’t be any electrical elements and we had to find an ingenious way to bring together function and form. The materials also had to be carefully chosen and justified according to their properties.

Put the bowl on the scale’s plate. As the bowl goes down, the weight indicator rises on the sides.
The weight is indicated on the red ring that rose as the bowl went down.
32
The mechanism is composed of an assembly of springs, shuttles and rods aligned on rails that guide their movements. When weight is applied on the plate, it lowers itself and pushes the rods on the shuttles along the rails, which in turn pushes up the weight indicator. The springs apply the necessary resistance to the mechanism to ensure its efficiency and to bring back the components in their starting positions.

REDESIGNING THE TEENER 4
35
Realised with Daniel Quinlan, an Irish student at the Politecnico di Milano, the goal of this project was to redesign the Teener 4, a smal Italian electric urban car destined toward businesses and car sharing systems. The car’s structure had to be respected with a minimum of modifications. The new design was, however, left to the students.

Ergonomic validations using JACK software
38
The somewhat strange look of the original car has made place to a more aggressive and catchy model. The 3D modeling was done using Alias Automotive and the rendering with RTT. Some ergonomic date had to be verified using JACK in order to validate the concept.
39
Available in a wide range of colors, the new Teener 4 fits the needs of businesses and public services that require a small urban car.

TOMAHAWK
57
The Tomahawk, designed and produced by Dubuc Superlight Car, is a kit car entirely conceived and built in Quebec that will be on the market during 2014.
Most the images created for the client are now part of his website, or will be integrated soon. This portfolio is a selection of those images.
The order of the client was divided in two stages. First, the client needed promotional images produced using his 3D models of the Tomahawk car before the real life prototype was finished.
www.superlightcar.ca
Once the prototype was complete, the task was to integrate photos of the Tomahawk in other backgrounds to create more promotional images for the client’s website.

TOXEBOX CASE
63
Toxebox is a young company that wants to produce luxurious smartphone cases, more specifically for IPhones. The task of this contract was to produce the first sketches for a preliminary concept of the phone case in order to orient further developments of the product’s design. This first step lasted for 8 hours only. This portfolio is a selection of the sketches produced. Project realised with Maquette Virtuelle.

65
The client wanted a smart use of material that would inspire quality and strength. A mix a brushed aluminum, laminated wood and embroidered fabrics was then considered an interesting solution. The inspiration guidelines of the client revolved mainly around chic and stylish men’s clothing such as tuxedos and cufflinks.
The result is and elegant phone case inspiring quality and a certain luxury, but without any frills. Instead, I aimed to get that feeling through clean lines and enriching contrasts between the materials.
66
PLATÔ
67
This 3rd year of Design school project aimed toward the conception of a tramway system for Montreal. The mandate being wide, I had to design the exterior, the interior layout, the integration in the urban environment, the mechanical components and, lastly, the network. Since the use of the computer was only allowed for the printing layouts, all the drawings were therefore freehand made.
68
69
The Platô is a tramway designed for Montreal and, as indicates its name, more specifically for the Plateau MontRoyal district. Even though this neighbourhood has a very effervescent artistic and cultural life, automobile traffic is a real problem and is therefore a nuisance to the inhabitants’ life quality, the workers transiting through the Plateau Mont-Royal and for tourists.
The PlatĂ´ aims to be an efficient transit system with a friendly look that will help decongesting the main roads and bring a breath of fresh air to the Plateau Mont-Royal.
70
Approach lighting
The Plat么 system includes two cables. The first one brings the necessary electricity to the tramway. The second one supports a continuous soft lighting that increases as the tramway approaches, making a visual warning for pedestrians and vehicles as well as bringing a delicate and attractive urban lighting as the evening settles in.

Interior layout
The front and rear wagons are mainly configured to host a great density of passengers in order to satisfy the high demand during rush hours. These wagons are also equipped with flip-up seats to allow a safe space for passengers with reduced mobility. The central wagon, on the other side, is made to host less passengers, but in a more comfortable way, for longer travels. Its seats are arranged face to face for greater conviviality.
