Redesigning the Area around Champ-de-Mars Metro Station, Montréal
By Digital Landscaping • Jan 5th, 2010 • Category: Contests, Events  The Ville de Montreal announced a nationwide ideas competition for the redesigning of the area around the Champ-de-Mars metro station. The purpose of the competition is to solicit explorations and illustrations of a variety of development concepts made possible by the planned covering of the Ville-Marie expressway and the potential reconfiguration of its exit ramps. Champ-de-Mars station, with its magnificent glassworks by renowned artist Marcelle Ferron, is one of the few landmarks remaining from the time before the construction of the Ville-Marie expressway. The immediate perimeter of the station forms a link between downtown Montreal and Old Montreal, and is one of the main pedestrian access routes to the historic district. The competition invites entrants to submit development proposals that integrate smoothly with the existing public spaces and take into account the current and future built environment, including the impending Centre hospitalier de l’Universite de Montreal. Proposals must promote citizen appropriation of the urban environment and provide a development framework that facilitates movement through the city. competition more info: |
