Founded in 1988 by Gilles Saucier and André Perrotte, Saucier+Perrotte Architectes is a multidisciplinary practice that is internationally renowned
for its institutional, cultural and residential projects. The firm represented Canada at the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2004, and has been honoured with numerous awards, including 10 Governor General’s Medals and Awards, three P/A Progressive Architecture honors, and two Chicago Athenaeum / European Centre International Architecture Awards. Saucier + Perrotte has been part of exhibitions including Les lieux de la couleur at the CCA (2000), Childhood Landscapes, Topographical Unfoldings in Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa and Buffalo (2002-2004), and Substance Over Spectacle in Vancouver (2005). In 2002, the CCA began archiving the firm’s architectural drawings and models, and in 2007, the firm designed the CCA exhibition 1973: Sorry, Out of Gas. Saucier+Perrotte received the RAIC’s 2009 Architectural Firm Award, and both partners received the inaugural Prix Ernest-Cormier and the 2018 RAIC Gold Medal.
For more than 40 years, Gagnon Letellier Cyr Ricard Mathieu et associés architectes (GLCRM) has combined traditional services in architec-
ture with a multidisciplinary approach. From its base in Quebec City, the firm has since expanded its reach with regional offices. Projects include the Canadian Embassy in Berlin, the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa, and the Centre Vidéotron and Jean-Lesage International Airport, both in Quebec City. More than half of the firm’s fifty staff are architects, and many have been working with the team for more than a decade. This stability ensures continuous knowledge and expertise within the firm, allowing the studio to maintain a highquality standard in its services. The consortium Saucier+Perrotte / GLCRM architectes is also working on the transformation of the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, based on their winning 2017 competition entry.
ŠKOLA SMÍCHOV Office Ou is a Toronto-based landscape and architecture
practice. By drawing on a wide range of influences and collaborators—from experts in other fields, local communities and governments, to the plants and animals that inhabit the land—its work reveals and strengthens the connections between natural and cultural systems. Established in 2016 by Nicolas Koff, Uros Novakovic, and Sebastian Bartnicki, the office has worked on projects including urban infill housing, institutional buildings, and large-scale master plans. Recent work includes award-winning sustainability-focused homes in the greater Toronto area, the international competition-winning design for the new National Museum Complex of South Korea, and landscape design for the No. 9 Gardens education centre. Office Ou is developing a book on productive urban landscapes, due for publication by Routledge in 2019.
