1. RÉSEAU EXPRESS MÉTROPOLITAIN (REM) Location: Montreal, Quebec Size: 27 stations Architect: Perkins & Will My Involvment: SD, DD, CD, CA Description: The largest public transportation infrastructure project for the metropolitan area since 1966, the REM project is rewriting the story of Montréal’s future through transit. At 27 stations across 67 kilometers, it will be one of the largest automated transportation systems in the world. Equally impressive, the project has broad aspirations related to culture, identity, and sustainability. A system-wide design that captures the speed of trains and rhythm of the passing landscape to create a new identity for the line and the city.

DU RUISSEAU STATION AT GRADE

RE-WRITING THE STORY OF MONTRÉAL’S FUTURE The REM system spans a range of local context—from small rural areas to the dense metropolitan core. This context has shaped the identity of the stations within the eight zones identified. The local color palette and fauna provide the basis for the zone identity within a cohesive whole.

CONNECTION, RHYTHM, IDENTITY Horizontal lines representing the speed of travel are depicted on the facades of the platform volumes to manifest the movement of trains. The rhythmic vertical lines, expressed on plazas and the facades of vertical circulation volumes that connect stations to communities, represent the kinetic succession of scenery. Together, this system-wide design captures the speed of trains and rhythm of passing landscape to create identity.

KIT OF PARTS The spaces within each station make a system of four distinct volume components, identified and composed as a kit of parts to simplify programming and construction across all station types while creating a common identity. Establishing a clear system of components allows us to configure a large array of station types, whether elevated, bermed, at grade, trenched or underground.

2. WHITBY SPORTS COMPLEX Location: Whitby, Ontario Size: 11 469 m2 Architect: Perkins & Will My Involvment: SD, DD, CD, TENDER Description: The design of the North Whitby Sports Complex evokes the indigenous landscape of Durham County - one which has been erased from the immediate site. The concept draws inspiration from the surrounding natural features and their formation over time through three stages: Glacial Ice shaped the landscape that we now move through, carving valleys and depositing till into mounds. Forests thrived on the soft soil deposits on either side the rocky valleys and stream beds. Humans adopt and build upon these natural pathways and clearings, creating a connected and inhabited landscape. Clearing

LIVING DESIGN A Net Zero Community Complex sets the strategies and ordering principals for the new recreational and civic landscape.

1. District Energy System A geothermal district energy plant supports the Recreation Complex, park amenities and future adjacent development.

2. Habitat Restoration A a grouping of denuded former agricultural plots are reinvested with native plant species, wetlands and a low impact public realm.

3. On-Site Renewable Energy The Complex is heated an cooled through on site geothermal and powered by a 300KW/hr roof top PV array.

4. Inclusivity & Accessibility Access and Inclusion inform the building interior and public realm to a high degree. Ramps connect levels instead of stairs. A civic plaza supports cultural events and gatherings.

5. Local and Regional Transit The project siting takes advantage of connections to a regional commuter bus station, providing pedestrian access, amenity and parking to commuters.

DESIGN RATIONALE Position the building in an optimal location that best mediates between both sides of the site

Rotate and Connect the building to establish a clear bridge the two sides of the site

Expand the entry points and public zones for a richer community experience.

3. OTTAWA CONFEDERATION LINE EXTENSION Location: Ottawa, Ontario Size: 9 Stations Architect: Perkins & Will My Involvment: DD, CA Description: The Ottawa Confederation Line Phase 2 project is an extension of the existing Confederation Line, currently under construction. During the design process an in-depth contextual analysis of each station was undertaken where each station’s site context, urban connections, roads, cycling and pedestrian pathways were analyzed. The results in combination with microclimatic analysis informed the location and orientation of the entrances for each facility that best accommodates seamless transition between the surrounding communities, pedestrian and bicycle access through multi-use pathways, as well as intermodal facilities, parking, and passenger pick-up and dropoff.

LINCOLN FIELDS MAIN ENTRANCE

KIT OF PARTS The architecture and design approach achieves a common brand identity, shared across all stations for unity and consistency across the line. The commonalities are achieved on multiple levels including feature brand elements like the iconic stations roofs, elevator enclosures, station lanterns, as well as standardization in system-wide common elements like elevators, escalators, windscreens, furniture, wayfinding, lighting and CCTV.

LINCOLN FIELDS STATION AERIAL VIEW

INTEGRATION WITHIN FEDERAL LANDS The signature roof and lantern entry sequences visually connect the stations to the overall line-wide identity as well as to their urban context. The elements act as a visual cue, drawing passengers to the station entrance from various directions. The stations seamlessly connect with existing city paths, pedestrian and cycle routes, and other mobility modes. OTTAWA CONFEDERATION LINE- PHASE 2

QUEENSVIEW STATION PLATFORM VIEW

Platforms are designed to be open and free from visual obstructions which in combination with clear wayfinding allow for safe and easy passenger navigation

NEW ORCHARD MAIN ENTRY

The design of the new stations is driven by the desire to maintain the integrity of the overall system while meeting the obligations of passenger comfort, accessibility, sustainability, and appropriate contextual response to the immediate surroundings of the stations.

PINECREST STATION PARK VIEW

The stations maintain a pavilion-like presence within their context with their platforms and adjoining service spaces often set below grade within an existing BRT trench.

DOMINION STATION PLATFORM LEVEL

The roof form and perimeter wind screen design was carefully tested using daylighting and wind analysis to maximize passenger comfort and minimize snow and rain infiltration

The interior finishes of the portal continue the exterior language of bright white, large format panels that seamlessly integrate building systems and services such as self-serve kiosks and signage. The soffit of the portal is an integral part of this component. Running from outside to inside, it is read as one continuous surface. The white colour has been selected to create a contrasting environment from the dark charcoal station building. Primary portal R

GO Station Building adaptation to site constraints

The portal may be adapted to address various site conditions and circulation patterns. These variations respond to the entry orientation relative to the container.
