Living forest Le grand arbre situé au coin de la ruelle débute ce cocon végétal composé de lattes de bois qui couvrent les différentes balançoires. Les ombres de ces lattes irrégulières projetées au sol amplifient l’ambiance naturelle d’une forêt, nous rappelant de tendres souvenirs d’enfance. Les passants peuvent donc profiter du buzz urbain tout en se faisant bercer par le rythme régulier et apaisant de la balançoire.

A forest of swings is installed on the corner of the street. The heart of this cozy installation is a big tree at the corner of a laneway. The installation is composed of wooden battens to create mystical plays of light. The pedestrians can enjoy the urban buzz from a swing in a small and ludic forest.

D’ici 2048, Growing Green aidera la communauté à transformer le paysage physique, économique et social de l’est de Ville-Marie en un environnement sain et équitable qui saura répondre aux besoins de la population grandissante. Cette transformation s’inscrit dans la création d’un écosystème circulaire qui offrira logements durables et abordables, ainsi que développement économique et des modes de transport.

Growing Green will leverage existing social capital to transform the physical, economic and social landscape of eastern Ville-Marie by 2048 into a healthy, equitable environment that satisfies the needs of a rapidly increasing population.

A circular ecosystem anchors this transformation, which will further promote sustainable housing, transportation and economic development within the area.

Plan concept coordiné/Coordinated Concept Plan - Namur-De la Savane J’ai travaillé avec huit autres étudiants sur un plan concept coordiné pour la Ville de Côte-Saint-Luc ainsi que l’arrondissement de Saint-Laurent. Dans ce plan a été mis de l’avant une vision unifiante pour la création de milieux de vie connectés, viable et périn. Cette vision comprend deux éléments clés: un réseau de transport en commun entièrement électrique ainsi qu’un réseau d’espaces verts et publiques.

I worked with eight other students on on a Coordinated Concept Plan for the City of Cote Saint-Luc as well as the borough of SaintLaurent. In that plan, we suggest a unifying vision for connected, liveable and future-proof milieux de vie relying on two main elements: an electric transit network and a network of green and active public spaces.

Le réseau électrique s’inspire de projets innovants de train très léger et de tramway qui rendent accessibles (en terme de prix et de désenclavement) le transport en commun pour les différentes communautés du secteur. The latest very light rails and tramway projects are now more accessible (in terms of price and barriers crossed) public transit for the surrounding communities.

A40 Underpass There are few pedestrian connections across autoroute 40 and the existing ones are derelict.

Use could be ecnouraged with design and by connecting green active corridors across barriers.

Harmony Harmony questions the limits of the human body by transcending them through the addition of a musical prostethic. Its shape takes inspiration of string instruments and embrace the human form.

Harmonie questionne les limites du corps humain en transcendant celles connues par la fabrition d’une extension musicale, qui découle de la forme primaire du violon, épousant une silhouette humaine.

SYNERGY Synergy is the realisation of an habitable texture. Inspired by star-like shapes composing a sponge, the shapes are put together to form a porous and permeable environment.

Synergie est une texture habitable inspirée des structures d’étoiles à trois pointes composant les éponges marines. Cette structure a été reprise afi d’en exploiter la porosité et la perméabilité 31
