1 CONTEXT Historic location / Infrastructure fracture / Key spot for the city MONTRÉAL MAP, INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE CITY Inside Montréal Island, highways cross the city passing under, above or directly through the urban fabric dividing neighborhoods and creating inhospitable areas that end up degrading. The city highways system was built without a “belt-way” highway. Inside the island the city counts 140 km of highways (Diagonal of Barcelona is 11km). The highway construction phenomenon occurred very fast during the 60s and 70s so the city would be “modernized” for the Olympic games of 1967 and the Expo of 1970. The rapidity of the designs and executions, led to a bad planning of the city highway system that is the cause of the degradation of many areas and neighborhoods today.

An example of one of these degraded areas is the Bassin Peel at the end of the Old Port and beginning of the Lachine Canal (project plot). In this point, the Autoroute Bonaventure, constructed in 1970, crosses the Lachine Canal and divides the old Griffintown neighborhood, a former industrial area, in two. Today, this highway needs renovation.

Project is located at an intersection, a cross between the highway viaduct and an industrial canal in a renewal process. AUTOUROUTE BONAVENTURE Projet Bonaventure The city already has approved a plan to renovate the highway in three phases. Phase 1 has already begun (2017). The first phase consists in the destruction of the aerial part of the highway and replacing it by an urban park boulevard. Yet, the portion of the highway above the Lachine Canal has not been designed. The connection between the new park and the canal is not planned.

CANAL LACHINE Griffintown & the Lachine Canal The Canal Lachine is an historic industrial canal (opening in 1820) that became the main axis of Montréal industrial development during the 19th century. The historical importance of the Lachine Canal is linked with the industrial power of Montréal during that century when the city became the first industrial port of America. But at the end of the century, with the decline of industry and the construction of major infrastructures, the Griffintown neighborhood and all the surroundings of the Lachine Canal became degraded areas.

Renewal process In 2002 the Lachine Canal re-opened for small boats navigation and yachting. The Lachine Canal Park, which crosses the island alongside with the canal, becomes a very popular walking park. The neighborhood is in transformation. A large number of residential projects want to invest in the area. It becomes a key spot for the city due to the proximity of the city center. The Quartier de l’innovation or CIté multimédia (very similar to 22@ project in Barcelona) settles in the Faubourg des Récolets, right next to Griffintown (the otherside of the Autoroute Bonaventure infrastructure). The proximity to the Old Port, a very touristic area, creates and opportunity to connect the Montréal waterfront, recovering a lost connection. Infrastructure, active industry and vacant plots are the barriers that make this connection difficult. The interest of a new pole of activity in the beginning of the Canal Lachine (basin Peel) and the connection point with the Old Port is an opportunity for the city (becomes visible). This new pole would represent the door to the Canal Lachine neighborhood.

2 PROJECT Connection / Activation / Tramway station + bridge + activity THE SITE TODAY (2015) The project site includes a lot of abandoned plots, industrial activity and an infrastructure in process of being demolished. Difficulty of connection. PROJECTED ACTIVITY This area will become one of the main generators of activity for the city. Confluence of McGill Street (business axis), new Henri-Bourassa Boulevard Park, former Autoroute Bonaventure being demolished (green axis), and Peel Street (commercial and business axis, ETS university, city center, Centre Bell, etc.) Many new residential and mixed use projects are being built or are planned to be built in the next few years, and an extension of the MAC (Musée d’Art Contemporain) de Montréal, could be built in the silo nº5 emblematic industrial ruins. (Final Project by Alberto Bellia for University of Venice)
2 SITE & PROJECT ABANDONNED AREA IN RECONSTRUCTION DEMOLITIONS PLAN PROJECTED ACTIVITY PROJECT OBJECTIVES 1 CONNECT 2 A C T I VAT E
PROJECT The project aims to CONNECT and ACTIVATE the area. At an urban scale, the intention is to assure the connection between the Old Port and the Lachine Canal while rethinking a connection with the new Henri-Bourassa Park Boulevard. A new continuous waterfront SIDEWALK will be designed. The city has the intention of drawing a new tramway line around the city center passing by this area and intersecting another tramway line (SLR système léger sur rails) incorporated in the Bonaventure Project. The design of the EXCHANGE TRAMWAY STATION is included in the project. A BRIDGE for pedestrians is also necessary. We include in the project area the industrial artificial land at the other side of the canal.

Finally, a large number of ACTIVITIES have to be developed in order to give continuity and contiguity to the Montréal waterfront. From the tramway station the program expands. Shops, bars, cafeterias, restaurants, work spaces for small and middle firms and sports, park and canal related activities appear. The area is classified as a “récréo-touristic” zone. The two tramway stations, the bridge and the multiple activities are all put together in one infrastructure scale building. The scale of the building is due to the proximity of the Autoroute Bonaventure viaduct bridge and the industrial buildings in the surroundings such as Silo nº5 or Farine Five Roses Silo.

PROJECT MASTERPLAN
4 PLANS Parking / Ground floor / Bridge floor / Auditorium floor / Roof top floor INFRASTRUCTURE BUILDING The two tramway stations, the bridge and the multiple activities are all put together in one infrastructure scale building. The scale of the building is due to the proximity of the Autoroute Bonaventure viaduct bridge and the industrial buildings in the surroundings such as Silo nº5 or Farine Five Roses Silo. PARKING FLOOR The infrastructure building contains a two floor parking with 800 car parking spots and 400 bike parking spots. The parking floor also incorporates a connection with the two tramway stations. GROUND FLOOR The ground floor allows the passing of all the fluxes that converge in the area. - New waterfront connection between Old port and Canal Lachine - New Henri-Bourrassa boulevard park connection with the waterfront sidewalk - Filtration towards Griffintown neighborhood - Access to tramway station under the infrastructure - Access to tramway station above the infrastructure - Access to the bridge to reach the west side of Canal Lachine Park (industrial area now) - Access to the new building - Access for vehicles to the Autoroute Bonaventure viaduct The building drains a major part of these fluxes with a 20 meter cantilever towards the new Henri-Bourassa Park Boulevard. On the other side of the canal the building allows direct connection with the water. A part of the building enters inside the canal. The water sports activities would depart from this point. BRIDGE FLOOR The fluxes from the ground floor extend to the bridge floor (+10 meter, high enough to let boats pass underneath, same high as the Autoroute Bonaventure viaduct bridge) From the bridge floor, we find the access to the office and auditoriums building, to the upper tramway station and to the bridge, as well as the new accesses that connect (reveal themselves) with the top roof and the viewpoints from the upper part of the building. The infrastructure building is tangent to the Autoroute Bonaventure viaduct at the upper tramway station, allowing users to “jump” from one structure to another, where the tramway (SLR) tracks are. The infrastructure building separates from the existing viaduct allowing the whole grouping to breathe. A gigantic patio opens between the two infrastructures. On the other side of the canal, the access to the bridge and upper tramway station is driven through a linear park that goes up and down again to assure the Canal Lachine’s park continuity. With this gesture the infrastructure can be filled of activity underneath.
5 PLANS Parking / Ground floor / Bridge floor / Auditorium floor / Roof top floor AUDITORIUMS FLOOR The building raises towards the outside searching the scale of the city on one side and the industrial buildings on the other side. The part of the infrastructure building touching the city contains an offices and auditoriums building for the use of small and medium firm establishing in the area (Quartier de innovation and Griffintown). This building follows the bridge ramp and then is torqued becoming a continuous ramp building around a patio. PUBLIC ROOF TOP FLOOR From above, the whole infrastructure building becomes public space. It appears like a collection of ramps (all less than 8%, practicable by a person in a wheelchair). All the building and specially the upper parts of it (20 meter high) become viewpoints of the city skyline, the Canal Lachine Park and the industrial port. In winter, covered by the snow, a ludic use of the infrastructure building is possible. The whole building becomes a big sleight park. The canal, frozen, becomes a skating rink. Studies prove that in this part of the Canal Lachine and until MarchĂŠ Atwater (3 km) a skating rink can be installed and made secured. The example of Canal Rideau in Ottawa could serve as a precedent.
10 CONCRETE SCREEN WALLS Details concrete screen walls / Junctions with floors / Structure plans / Structure calculations STRUCTURE The infrastructure is composed of one single structure system. Concrete screen walls curve and give shape, façades and stability to the infrastructure building. The structure becomes the building. VERTICAL ELEMENTS – CONCRETE SCREEN WALLS The only permanent elements of the project are the concrete screen walls that follow the fluxes that people will take in the building. The movement of the people is drawn by the organic structure lines. These concrete screens walls are made of in situ concrete planes of 40 to 50 cm thick. The elevating appearance of the building is achieved with the superposition in different planes of the concrete screen walls. The concrete planes are perforated creating alternations of void and mass that compose the elevation of the building and that allow people to pass through them. With this system, the elevation becomes section, harboring the activity that happens in and on the building. STRUCTURE BRACING The concrete screen walls follow axes that are drawn by the fluxes of the people. The structure needs structure bracing. Every 25 meters, a reinforced concrete beam sews the concrete structure walls. FOUNDATIONS The concrete screen walls pillars foundations are assured by micro-piles. The micro-piles go deep into the ground till the nearest hard resistant ground is found. Since we are near the river, it is assumed that the immediate ground is not resistant enough (a geo-technical study would be required). In the case of a 3 000 mm long concrete screen walls pillar, the pillar is embraced by 6 micro-piles. The assembly is tied together in the pile cap.
7 CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM Construction system axonometric¬ view HORIZONTAL ELEMENTS - “PI” BEAMS OR TT BEAMS The horizontal elements can be changed and moved in time. They serve the building. They are used by people to get up and down through ramps. The constructive system consists of “pi” beams or TT beams, prefabricated concrete beams, supported by the concrete screen walls through discontinuous concrete corbels. The “pi” beams do not participate in the stability of the building. ACCESSIBLE AND PUBLIC DECKS All the decks are accessible and public. From above, the trace of the building becomes a 20 000 m2 public space slab. Some of the decks are walking paths. Other spaces can be filled with green spaces. It is the case on the east side of the canal where the Canal Lachine Park goes up and down again through the infrastructure. Grass, shrubs and small trees can be planted. Due to the high density and heavy weight of vegetable soil (1 600 kg/m3), the plantation areas are filled with expanded clay aggregates of a much less weight (325 kg/m2). In the case of planting small trees, soil wells can be inserted in the expanded clay aggregates area. VARIABILITY OF THE INTERIORS ARCHITECTURE The activity, commercial spaces, shops, bars, cafés, will be sheltered inside the infrastructure, between the concrete screen walls. The space between walls can be filled in by the owner in many possible ways. The 12 meters between walls and the high ceilings give to the space a lot of flexibility. Mezzanines, compartmentation, free floor, etc. Using the same system, the interior floors and linings can be changed or covered by other materials or left bare. The ceiling can stay as the visible concrete prefabricated beams (insulation above the beam), leaving the facilities visible or covered by a false ceiling. The different users and owners choose the appearances of their spaces. The outside stays as the bare concrete screen walls that give unity to the project. Small details are thought to maintain the concrete screen walls as protagonists of the space such as leaving a concrete stripe on the floor interrupting the covering floor coinciding with the structure axes.
8 FACILITIES SYSTEMS Uses / Inclinations / Protection against fire / Water supply / Water evacuation & rainwater recycling / Airing / Electricity supply POSSIBLE USES The project suggests some “first possible uses” that could fit the building according with the present needs of the neighborhood and city in this area. The words chosen “first possible uses” are taken from the concept of Lacaton & Vassal architects. The use does not define the space. The uses could change in time. The spaces offered in the project are flexible enough to adapt to different programs. As the construction system that tries to be flexible enough to allow change, the facilities are also expected to be flexible and adapt to those possible changes. With the application of these concepts, it becomes difficult to calculate the users that would inhabit the building. The facilities systems, water supply, water evacuation, airing, electricity, etc. are thought as systems that should be able to adapt to the changing demands of the changing users. The facilities in this project are systems, not finished rigid structures. The facilities project wants to ensure the viability of the proposition. INCLINATIONS The accessible roof defines the project. The totality of the roof, more then 20 000 m2, is public space. Every corner is accessible. The ramps to access the upper levels and the viewpoints are all between 6% and 8%. The main ramps to access to the tramway station are of 6% and 6.5% from each side of the canal. This allows everyone to reach all the viewpoints. PROTECTION AGAINST FIRE (According to regulations of the Spanish law CTE – SI.) CTE – SI - Minimum requirements: - Fire extinguisher at the entrance of the electric meters room. - Double doors in the space reserved for rubbish. - Doors placed in the direction of evacuation. - Fire resistant doors in the technical spaces. - Fire resistant walls in the technical spaces.

CTE – SI Table 3.1 Number of evacuation exits and length of its paths Levels with more than one exit – Length of the exit paths < 50m WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM For the “first possible uses” chosen in the project, the water supply system is drawn showing how to bring cold water to the “services spaces”. In the “service spaces” a WC unit can be installed. There is still place for any kind of installation that needs water supply like kitchens for cafés/bars/restaurants. The water supply is for cold water but a heating unit can be installed for each owner if hot water is needed. The water is conducted through the ceiling. The water facilities, tubes and connections are suspended from the “Pi” beams. The user can see the facilities. If the owner of the space wants to hide the facilities, a new “false” ceiling can easily be installed.

WATER EVACUATION AND RAINWATER RECYCLING SYSTEM For the “first possible uses” chosen in the project, the water evacuation and rainwater recycling system is drawn, able to evacuate water from the “services spaces” and from the roof. In the “service spaces” the water from the WC unit or any other water using and evacuating devices is evacuated through collectors and descendants that bring the water to the city sewer system. The rainwater is collected in 3 deposits placed in technical spaces under the end of the main ramps. This rainwater is used to water the park in the roof and is connected through a system of water supply for WC’s in parallel of the main water supply system. The rainwater is conducted through the ceiling. The water facilities, tubes and connections are suspended from the “Pi” beams. The user can see the facilities. If the owner of the space wants to hide the facilities, a new “false” ceiling can easily be installed. AIRING SYSTEM The airing system is improved because of the width of the building. All parts of the building have the possibility of using natural cross-ventilation. A good use of the building could make it unnecessary to install cooling facilities in summer. The heated parts of the building are divided in three: the business/commercial/restauration spaces, the tramway station and the office and events main space. Each part has its own units that allow airing and heating. A system of air evacuation is also planned. Little smokestacks will appear on the public space roof. These are the only facilities that would be seen on the roof. The air is conducted through the ceiling. The air facilities, tubes and connections are suspended from the “Pi” beams. The user can see the facilities. If the owner of the space wants to hide the facilities, a new “false” ceiling can easily be installed. CLIMATE CONTROL The concrete screen walls defining the structure and the project intervene in the climate control of the building. The thickness of the wall, 400 to 500 mm of concrete, helps to thermally insulate the building. It also gains thermal inertia to keep the building heated in winter and fresh in summer. The carpentry is displaced in the inside of the concrete screen wall. This helps reduce solar impact. ELECTRICITY SUPPLY SYSTEM For the “first possible uses” chosen in the project, the electricity supply system is drawn showing how to bring electricity to any space of the building. Three transformer stations, that transform medium voltage (city electricity supply) into low voltage, are located in the technical spaces under the end of the main ramps. From these stations, electricity is conducted to the meters room. From there, electricity is measured in three-phase meters (for public use spaces) and distributed all over the building. Extra space is spared for the case that new meters are needed.
E
In the same way of the construction system that tries to be flexible enough to allow change, the facilities thought for this project have also the will to be flexible to those possible changes.

In the “service spaces” a WC unit can be installed. There will still be place for any kind of installation that needs water supply like, for example, kitchen for cafés/bars/restaurant.
A good use of the building could enable the need of installing cooling facilities for summer.
SECTION WATER SUPPLY FACILITIES
The water supply is for cold water but a heating unit can be installed for each owner if hot water is needed.
SECTION AIRING FACILITIES
The heated parts of the building are divided in three the business/commercial/restauration spaces, the tramway station and the office and events main space. Each part has its own units that allow airing and heating.
The water is conducted through the ceiling. The water facilities, tubes and connections are suspended from the “Pi” beams. The user can see the facilities. If the owner of the space wants to hide the facilities, a new “false” ceiling can easily be installed.
A system of air evacuation is also though. Little smokestacks will appear on the public space roof. These are the only facilities that would be seen on the roof. The air is conducted through the ceiling. The air facilities, tubes and connections are suspended from the “Pi” beams. The user can see the facilities. If the owner of the space wants to hide the facilities, a new “false” ceiling can easily be installed.

isolated cells
The thickness of the wall, 400 to 500 mm of concrete helps to thermally insulate the building. It also gains thermal inertial to keep the building heated in winter and fresh at summer.
natural cross-ventilation climate control
The carpentry is displaced in the inside of the concrete screen wall. This helps reduce solar impact.

PLANS FOR ELECTRICITY SUPPLY SYSTEM WATER EVACUATION AND RAINWATER RECYCLING SYSTEM
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY SYSTEM
For the “first possible uses” chosen in the project, the water evacuation and rainwater recycling system is drawn, able to evacuate water from the “services spaces” and from the roof.
For the “first possible uses” chosen in the project, the electricity supply system in drawn, able to bring electricity to any space of the building.
In the “service spaces” the water from the WC unit or any other water using and evacuating devices is evacuated through collectors and descendants that bring the water to the city sewer system.
Three transformer stations, that transform medium voltage (city electricity supply) in low voltage, are places in the technical spaces under the end of the main ramps.
The rainwater, is collected in 3 deposits placed in technical spaces under the end of the main ramps. This rainwater is used to water the park in the roof and is connected through a system of water supply for WC’s in parallel of the main water supply system. T H E

From this stations, electricity is conducted to the meters room. Form here electricity is measured in three-phase meters (for public use spaces) and distributed all over the building. Extra space is spared for the need of new meters that will be able to distribute more electricity if needed.
The rainwater is conducted through the ceiling. The water facilities, tubes and connections are suspended from the “Pi” beams. The user can see the facilities. If the owner of the space wants to hide the facilities, a new “false” ceiling can easily be installed.
SECTION ELECTRIC FACILITIES
The electricity is conducted through wires through the ceiling. The electricity facilities are suspended from the “Pi” beams. The user can see the facilities. If the owner of the space wants to hide the facilities, a new “false” ceiling can easily be installed. Some wires can be passed through the technical wall in the inside face of the concrete screen wall, if wall plugs are needed.
