An architect is the drawer of dreams. -Grace McGarvie

“ “ “ “

Architecture is like a mythical fantastic. It has to be experienced. It can’t be described. We can draw it up and we can make models of it, but it can only be experienced as a complete whole. -Maya Lin

Any architectural project we do takes at least four or five years, so increasingly there is a discrepancy between the acceleration of culture and the continuing slowness of architecture. -Rem Koolhaas

Architecture is a social act and the material theater of human activity. -Spiro Kutsof

As an architect you design for the present, with an awareness of the past, for a future which is essentially unknown. -Norman Foster

archite “ “ We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us. -Winston Churchill

I love building spaces: architecture, furniture, all of it, probably more than fashion. The development procedure is more tactile. It’s about space and form and it’s something you can share with other people. -Donna Karan

“

Architecture is the learned game, correct and magnificent, of forms assembled in the light. -Le Corbusier

When we build, let us think that we build for ever. -John Ruskin

All architecture is shelter, all great architecture is the design of space that contains, cuddles, exalts, or stimulates the persons in that space. -Philip Johnson

Each new situation requires a new architecture. -Jean Nouvel

“

Architecture is the art of how to waste space. -Philip Johnson

“

Architecture is an art when one consciously or unconsciously creates aesthetic emotion in the atmosphere and when this environment produces well being. -Luis Barragan

Those who look for the laws of Nature as a support for their new works collaborate with the creator -Antonio Gaudi

“ “

The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization. -Frank Lloyd Wright

“

Architecture is really about well-being. I think that people want to feel good in a space... On the one hand it’s about shelter, but it’s also about pleasure. -Zaha Hadid

its

all about

Architecture is most appealing with simple lines and clear ideas. A city, on the other hand, becomes alive when it is rich with experiences and surprises. So the paradoxical challenge is to simultaneously create simplicity and variety, diversity and coherence. In other words, to create a city in the building. -Bjarke Ingels

ecture “ “ “

If a building becomes architecture, then it is art. -Arne Jacobsen

Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness. -Frank Gehry

“

Architecture aims at Eternity. -Christopher wren

“

I believe that the way people live can be directed a little by architecture. -Tadao Ando

Architecture arouses sentiments in man. The architect’s task therefore, is to make those sentiments more precise. -Adolf Loos

I don’t see that any buildings should be excluded from the term architecture, as long as they are done properly. -Arne Jacobsen

“ “

Architecture is the materialisation of a concept. It is always very much about a logic, as well as the simplicity and the clarity of the expression. -Bernard Tschumi

Architecture starts when you carefully put two bricks together. There it begins -Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe

THE CUBE A place of relaxation and leisure

The site provided represents the tip of a mountain where the device is positioned freely to facilitate dĂŠploiment while being the most useful. A multitude of explorations and studies have been done to better familiarize themselves with the constraints and notions of space . The end result is an initial volume divides into three, where each one deploys in one direction. Once everything is open, you can enjoy the light and the view while being protected and housed . A first volume slides backward to open the cube . Two vertical planes are revealed and lets the individual climb to the top. Thereafter , another volume slides to the right to allow access from the outside. A horizontal plane placed on the inner side serves as a bench. Finally, the last volume slides down along the mountain. The space created by this movement provides a near water experience in addition to being isolated from the rest.

MAISON DU

COLLECTIONNEUR Located in front of the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal, this house consists of a small family with three members, including the head of family who is a master architect. This house is his habitat, place of work and also the scene and exhibition of his work and models. In addition to the exhibition hall in the basement, gaps made in the thickness of the walls allow him to exhibit models, drawings and any other conserved work during his studies in architecture. The house becomes the field to expose and show his career from the academic to the professional state.

Two entries appear at the ends of the building allowing access from both streets at ground level, thus facilitating the transition of users from outside to inside. An esplanade along the entire building allows access to the art gallery and coffee shop while providing meeting and collective spaces to the public while providing a long walkpath. The first three levels form a housing body which is superposed and repeated to achieve the desired number of flats that the program addresses. The last level gives people two roof terraces at each end for gathering while offering beautiful views of the city. In addition, each unit is powered by two emergency exits (stairs and elevator) in case of a fire complementary to the two main staircases that form the structural element of the building.

ARTIFACT This exercise aims to explore one of the properties of wood with its transposition as an architectural element. Here, the property explored is the appearance of movement created by the wood fibers altogether. This movement is translated by the sequence of rectangular modules of different sizes that rotates on there respective central axis to express the property. We can therefore create an infinity shape, pattern, while deciding the degree of openness. Thereafter, different atmospheres have been created by the use of light to explore the ambiance potential.

LIBRARY Design project for the Marc Favreau library

The final shape obtained results from the study of the sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s path on the site given with the purpose of having a clash with the existing context. A site visit had been made at the beginning and before posing any idea which has enabled us to establish benchmarks on the site in order to undertake the project in the future. The basic ideas and goals placed at the beginning were to create distinct sound abiances depending on the activities taking place in different parts of the library, to meet the requirement of the program, to isolate the central garden from the street and the other surrounding buildings and most importantly, to provide excellent quality spaces for working and reading to users.

BRICK Exploration studio with the brick as material

The properties of this material have been tested and explored to understand the relationship between the object, its assembly and the architecture that can be generated. Through a small monument in the form of a curved wall, our exploration was focused on the creation of indoor and outdoor environments where the light, filtered through small perforations in the bricks, amplifies the feeling. Two block types are used, differentiated by their color and the number of perforations that they contain. With those different aspects, the light is more or less filtered.

THE URBAN PIECE First part of the Triptych workshop

From software was born a form that has generated a skyscraper. MathCad, a parametric software generated a orthognonal angular shape using a sequence of common mathematical formulas but modified and accentuated. The basic form obtained takes the shape of a diamond through which a middle axis divides it and reveals its gemination. The figure obtained is then transferred to AutoCad in which we determined the desired number of columns in order to form the outer structure that can be used to anchor it to the given site.

EAU-CCUPONS MONTRĂ&#x2030;AL LIQUID CITY

17th inter-university Charrette of the CCA

Griffintown, an area in the city of Montreal, unused and invaded by parking lots, public spaces without adequate planification and vacant industrial sectors becomes an area in need of revitalization, developement in order to promote the residential sector. The project resulted in interventions that represent a movement that claims ownership of public spaces, the democratization of access to water, the development of an industrial past, the fight against urban heat islands and consolidation of the network of arts and emerging cultures.

From the general theme of water, we opted for the return to basic roots, which means that we took back the water molecule with their bubbly form, schematized here by facilities on the surface that can be moved , articulated while some of them are accessible. On the other hand , the existing parking was replaced by floating platforms on the water. The garage that was on groud level was placed in the basement space in order to accommodate several roles: fill the function of a traditional parking but also to be a gathering place for artists to exhibit their works or just a movie viewing area for the neighborhood. In addition, the glass borders keep the ground composition apparent on each side, so once the rain falls , the ground gets filled with water and the public can see its accumulation. This effect is added to the project to remind users of the floods which happened in the past. This work is a proposal for a better future using elements from the past.

ADAPTABILITY

PLUG-IT AND LIVE-IT

Third part of the Triptych workshop - Scenario of a multigenerational household

Adaptability through time and space, basic theme used for the development of this short studio in which the space given was an apartment in an existing building. The idea had to be exploited in order to create a livable space but with an innovative way. The area chosen is a welcoming surface with endless configuration possibilities of life through variable and movable modules inside the apartment. These wheel modules fill the duties that those static home elements usually would, but the advantage is that we can place them wherever we desired, making it more dynamic and for the cause, more spacious. At the end, the maximization of space is key and the adjustable aspect of the modules help reach this goal according to the activity undertaken.

COLLECTIVE HOUSING

THE VERTICAL PLAN : A SUPPORT FOR APPROPRIATION

In a landscape marked by scales and disparate uses, major industrial and typical Montreal triplex buildings coexist, and between them, we find major transportation infrastructures, rigid elements that break the layout of the city. Within this unstructured landscape, an element emerges: surfaces resulting from the development of the sector over time, sometimes ignored, become the place of various interventions: painting, planting, harvesting, advertising, knitting, furnishing. The basic picture is of a vertical plane, support for acts of ownership, creation, production, and also for housing units. Following an initial comceptual act of folding, the wall splits, and the homes are contained between these two surfaces, which hold a strong collective center space, with which all homes are related.

The building is inserted on a site bordering the Van Horne overpass. A strip of the building containing dwellings, is fixed along the viaduct in its axis over the entire length of the site, and projects in the adjacent park . This band contains homes that accomodates a free space on the side of the viaduct, left for appropriation at the whim of the people. Domestic modulation of the facade with signage or whatever other type of decoration plays an important role for those who travel by the overpass. On both sides of the plot are parks, which extend to the building and form the vegetated facade structure facing the dwellings. The continuity of these vegetated areas allow to qualify forgotten surfaces such as the underside of the viaduct. Green walls also play a role in the bioclimatic performance of the building. The central space becomes the heart of the project. The floor is occupied by an art gallery, media arts events , as well as a supermarket, a programmatic commitment to diversity and integrate local shops . The top of the equipment is occupied by communal areas , such as gardens and an outdoor cinema.

La continuité de ces espaces végétalisés permettent de qualifier des surfaces oubliées, telles que le dessous du viaduc. Les parois végétalisées jouent également un rôle dans la performance bioclimatique du bâtiment. L’espace central devient le cœur du projet. Le sol est occupé par une galerie d’art, support des manifestations artistiques, ainsi que par un supermarché, dans une volonté de mixité programmatique et d’intégration de commerces de proximité. Le dessus de ces équipements est occupé par des espaces collectifs, tels que des jardins et un espace de cinéma en plein air.

INSTRUCT TO CONSTRUCT Martissant’s evolutive school of craftsmanship - Port-au-Prince, Haïti

Part of a school group trip to Haiti throught the project management option in the masters program in order to realize a project on site in collaboration with the State University of Haiti

When natural disasters hit countries in development, the major part of fatalities is associated with poor construction practices. To promote sustainable practices, progressive educational systems along with training courses in the construction field are required. This structure must avoid implanting Western construction techniques ; however, it must reconcile traditional techniques with those offering economical and environmental protection for users.

This project proposes is the establishment of a craftsmanship school in Port -au- Prince, Haiti , to educate builders in the informal sector as well as the slum dwellers to build better. The development of this project aims for the participation of the public to promote the urban structure of Martissant . The appropriation by the students of the school is growing thanks to their upstream collaboration - and their contribution to the downstream construction - of the project. By training the futur trainers, the school promotes the transfer of knowledge and know- how from generation to generation. Its architecture also serves as a model for the implementation of simple principles for sustainable development. This pilot project could be replicated in other Haitian cities and will have a significant impact on the resilience of the population to reduce impacts of natural disasters .
