Living Pipes is a traversant hotel in the old Montreal that tries to answer the theme of the uncanny with a horror inspiration. His main entrance is located on the busy street of Saint-Paul west with alternative entrances on the less occupied street of Le Moyne.

Two typologies of facades of the nearby context where modelized with Recap pro and used to draw the average facades on Grasshopper, one for each street. With the essence itself of the old Montreal frames and heights , it allowed the project to integrated himself in his context. The averages were then converted to pipes, bringing here the identity of the hotel.

The facades were also used to make the volumetry. With an upright center, concentric averages with the average facades were developped and used for the column frame and for the walls The hotel has a numerous of collective spaces, rooms and outside areas with a profile that provides a great natural lightning. Between stiffness and flexibility, his intriguing architecture seeks to provoke a feeling allying attraction and repulsion. The Pipes evoking the guts, compares the project almost to a human body, preponderant in the world of horror. The eponym project of the pipes also translate the global using of these, while being the facade seen from the outside, they are also the skeleton and the interior lightning.

up into five different components, connected by walkways, which are arranged on the ground according to precise alignments, heights, parallels and perpendiculars. The aspect of «a city within a city» can be seen in the way in which the project shapes the urban form by generating new axes of circulation, while using the existing ones. The project talks about the links between social mix, walk and programmatic diversity in an original architecture. It tries to bring a new way of living in the Old Montreal. From the urban context, the facades are expressed by a raw gray concrete which ideally integrates with its direct environment. The facades are opened

follow the interior programming. The massive aspect of the concrete is balanced with a wall entirely glazed on the ground floor which influences a perception of lightness, even weightlessness of the concrete. This envelope also protects a warmer and more natural wood materiality.

As for the ground, the topography is entirely generated by the orientation of the walls which influence an alley that causes certain «vibrations» over different levels on the topography. In terms of programming, each volume has a singular program based on the desire to weave a very diverse social landscape within the housing.

Led by Randy Cohen, Hors les murs» was a summer study trip of the Modernism and contemporary architecture. It tooks place in different cities of Brazil: Sao Paulo, Brasilia, Belo Horizonte, Ouro Preto and Rio de Janeiro.

Before going one month to Brazil, there was a strong study of the history, the architecture and the brazilian architects who draw those cities: Oscar Niemayer, Robert Burle Marx, Paulo Mendes da Rocha, Eduardo Afonso Reidy, Lina Bo bardi, Lucio Costa, Vilanova Artigas, Joao Filguieras Lima...

On field, there was three workshops: a student housing next to the Sao Paulo University of Architecture, an ephemeral architecture in

Brasilia to discuss the Pillot Plan developped by Oscar Niemeyer and Lucio Costa in 1956, and a cultural place in Rio de Janeiro. Also, every student had to study an iconic building. There was a ground, structural and a skin study about each building. Above, there is isometric drawing of the «Parque Eduardo Guinle Bulding, Nova Costra» in Rio de Janeiro drawn by Lucio Costa in 1950. The trip keeps track thanks to a personal notebook with sketches and texts from every day.

«Hors les murs» was concluded with an exposition in the Planning Faculty of the Université de Montréal in September 2018 of every study, drawing and workshops.
