Le pire est que ce qu'il raconte est vraiment intéressant mais ciboire qu'il est gossant. J'ai eu de la misère à me rendre au bout du 9 minutes.

Pas de politique svp.

Et quelques photos de l'emplacement du Palais des Congrès. circa 1977 Et la construction

I'm sorry I don't have picture of the period you are looking for, but I had a few from during the construction or even before it all started. Cette photo est de 1964 (ou 65) avant la construction de l'autoroute ville-marie et du métro dans le coin. et quelques photos lors de sa construction.

Le type apporte de bons arguments, mais quelques petits détails, le journaliste ne comprend pas trop bien comment la télé fonctionne au Québec, il pense pouvoir vendre les droits en double (français et anglais). Ensuite, il croit que nous pourrions battre les foules de Tampa Bay et Oakland Voici la moyennes en ce moment pour 2013, où pensez-vous Montréal se situerait dans 5 ans? http://espn.go.com/mlb/attendance Je m'excuse de me faire l'avocat du diable, j'aimerais un retour du baseball majeur à Montréal, mais le réalisme de la situation me parait glauque! Je continue à dire que le prochain sports pro à Montréal devrait être la NFL. Je crois que MTL peut faire vivre une équipe de la NFL et de la CFL sans problème.

En cherchant sur Google au sujet de ce bâtiment, je suis tombé sur un billet que nous avions déjà eu sur la Canada Maltage. http://www.mtlurb.com/forums/showthread.php/15621-Quoi-faire-avec-le-silo-Canada-Maltage-du-Quartier-Saint-Henri Et voici l'énoncé d'intérêt Patrimonial de la Ville de Montréal sur la série de silos.

wow, très belle trouvaille !

Le gros problème est que le plafond de la grande salle est directement le tablier du pont. Et il est impossible pour eux d'avoir un compagnie d'assurance pour assurer les lieux pour que des gens s'y trouvent plus que quelques minutes. C'est une question de gros sous!

La New City Gas et l'Arsenal sont deux belles salles multi-fonctionnelles dans ce coins de la ville, Elles voient grand et ça promet pour le développement de ce quartier. La New City Gas a été lancé avec C2-MTL 2012 et je vais avouer moi-même que j'avais des doutes mais je suis content de m'avoir trompé. Voici une photo que j'ai prise sur le bâtiment en sautant la clôture au milieu des années 2000, j'ai dû sauter une clôture et j'ai trouvé cette fenêtre sur un brin d'histoire entre le viaduc Bonaventure et le bâtiment. (au bout de Dalhousie). http://brubmedia.com/index.php/2010/04/dennons-dolllars/

J'ai bien hâte de voir les prix. Ce projet m'intéresse.

Quelqu'un connais ce projet?

Du Globe and Mail In Montreal, delicate design gestures help us forget the big scandals By day and by night, there are adults flying through the air at Montreal’s Quartier des Spectacles on oversize, colourful swings. Streams of cyclists whip by on dedicated bike paths. Warmed by the spring sunshine, students and gallerygoers lounge on the steps at Place des Arts, where the joys of museum, opera and symphony are recognized with fortissimo. It would seem that everything is just as it should be in Montreal, where bonhomie thrives and an art has been made of small-scale urban architecture. In the leafy neighbourhood of Saint-Louis, where many artists have made their homes, the ghost of architect Luc Laporte lives on. From an 1880s commercial building on Rue St. Denis, he punched a generous, rounded arch through the masonry to connect his instant landmark bistro directly to the street; rather than depending on loud signage, he preferred to emphasize the building as sign. L’Express is a classic, with a heated, black-and-white tiled front terrace, still beloved – still packed – 33 years after he designed it. But the sweetness of the small architectural intervention is sadly being offset these days by the weight of large public works gone wrong. The corruption charges levelled against Montreal politicians have contaminated the reputation of the venerable metropolis. Last October, the city froze all non-essential public-works projects following widespread allegations of impropriety. With more arrests being made and former mayor Gérald Tremblay now ousted from office, it’s as if a slick of toxic oil is creeping along the streets, darkening the large civic projects touched by city builders and the SNC-Lavalin engineering firm. The Montreal-based global entity had its tentacles in many of the big public-sector works in the city, including the Maison Symphonique, with its handsome wood-lined concert hall but bargain-basement public lobbies; the shiny new planetarium on the eastern edge of the city; and the still-incomplete McGill University Health Centre hospital, a massive behemoth, estimated to cost $2.35-billion, and as ugly as its multilevel parking garage. It’s impossible to travel through these facilities without contemplating what troubling scenarios might have gone on. For now, then, it’s the modest, meaningful works of architecture and joyous pop-up landscapes that are left standing with integrity fully intact. Like the fans of L’Express, Montrealers are right to turn to them as places that citizens can depend on. In the open, and often under the open sky, is where the healing can begin. When, during last weekend’s Portes Ouvertes, I walked the city’s streets touring dozens of young architecture firms and funky design studios in former textile warehouses, the joy of their public-space work was intoxicating. Wanted, a two-person landscape-architecture firm, finds its motivation in the power of design to effect social change – or simply to contribute more urban comfort and delight. Last summer on Victoria Street, next to the McCord Museum of Canadian History, Paula Meijerink and Thierry Beaudoin installed an urban forest of cushy carpets of purple turf, artificial palm pavilions and curvey benches. People lounged with friends; couples posed among the outlandish neon set piece for their wedding pictures. This month, alongside the McCord, Wanted installs a temporary urban forest – ash trees with their root balls in massive sacks. Further east at Quartier des Spectacles, the colourful swings, suspended from white steel box frames, have been custom-designed by a six-person studio called Daily tous les jours. Back by popular demand for a third summer, 21 Balançoires (check out the video at vimeo.com/40980676), notes studio principal Mouna Andraos, comes complete with a musical score: The more people swing, the more intricate the melody becomes. The studio has also produced massive sing-a-longs at fairgrounds outside of Minneapolis-Saint Paul and Dallas, offering large microphones and Auto-Tune to evoke decent collective sound. An installation of projections and sound that they hope will inspire audiences to move like the stars or the Earth is being prepared by Daily tous les jours for the $48-million planetarium. The planetarium’s design features rounded, wood-clad cinemas that push out on the upper levels as aluminum-clad cononical shapes between slanted green roofs. Designed by the city’s competition-winning Cardin Ramirez Julien & Aedifica, with, among other consultants, SNC-Lavalin, the three-level building will help anchor the Olympic grounds. “It’s definitely a shame, the huge problem the city has,” says Andraos, referring to the corruption scandals. “We’re hoping that some of the projects that we do can create exchanges for people in public spaces, and spark a sense of ownership.” In the Plateau district, a group of us – including journalists from international design media; Marie-Josée Lacroix, director of Montreal’s Bureau du design; and Élaine Ayotte, a member of the city’s newly formed executive committee responsible for culture and design – are led on a tour that begins by paying design homage to Laporte, who died in 2012. Heritage advisor Nancy Dunton leads our group to a stunning row of grey limestone townhouses fronting onto genteel Saint-Louis Square. Distinctive black steel railings and simple stone stairs on the Victorian exteriors are the work of Laporte, a man variously described as a bon vivant and a curmudgeon, who was often given commissions by local residents who knew him well. We file into Laporte’s still-functioning live-work studio: At the front, an efficient bar/kitchen – designed with the rigour of a boat’s cabin, complete with built-in cabinets and espresso-maker – sits alongside a work table with shelves lined with historic architecture books. An old photo of the staff at L’Express is propped on the white tile floor. Toward the back of the long, narrow space, Laporte had renovated a horse stable to become his studio, and, past delicate glass doors, a small terrace where vines grow up a brick wall. It was from here that he designed many of Montreal’s most enduring bars and restos, including the elegant Laloux (1980) with its seamless black-steel front entrance and cream-coloured walls of black-framed mirrors; and the high-end housewares boutique Arthur Quentin (1975) with walls and ceiling lined and strapped in plywood. Human-scaled and warm to the touch, these are the places that never stop giving back. They continue to amuse and endure in ways very different from those who choose to become their city‘s laughing stock.

Ce quartier s'en vient bien, un retour à sa vie des année 60 et 70. Maintenant, si on peut répondre au pourquoi nous avons passé de ça. à cette horrible bâtisse.

Passer de 28e dans la ligue à 4e en une demi saison avec une grès en plus, ce avec un nouveaux deuxième étages en entier sans que les nouveaux systèmes aient eu le temps d'être pratiquer dans une pré-saison. Je suis pas mal satisfait de nos Glorieux. Si on se fient à la fin de la saison et des séries, nous aurions surement "manqué de jus" après les fêtes, mais avec les embûches que nous avons eu. Bravo à toute l'équipe. je ne serais pas celui qui va "cracher" sur cette équipe parce qu'ils ce sont fait avoir en série, face à un gardien qui était en feu.

Lors de la commission sur le sujet. Le Quartier des Spectacles à offert un mémoire dans lequel ils racontaient qu'il n'était pas en faveur du projet. Alors, pourquoi leur offrir la chance d'en profiter? PDF ici http://ville.montreal.qc.ca/pls/portal/docs/PAGE/COMMISSIONS_PERM_V2_FR/MEDIA/DOCUMENTS/MEM_QUARTIERSPECTACLES_20121129.PDF

Trust me, he was at Place des Arts yesterday, or I saw a clone. He gave a good speach, it's weird to come and hear someone talk for 2h, it'S not a concert it's a big ass Q&A basically. One thing for sure he loves Montreal and the personnalities that come with it.

Maintenant qu'il est plus ou moins terminé, je ne sais pas trop quoi penser de cet édifice. Ça a l'air d'une grosse "shed" en tôle et pourtant, j'aime ça. Quand je passe en dessus sur Ville-Marie à tous les jours, il me laissait perplexe mais maintenant que je vois vos photos, ce n'est pas une mauvaise addition. Je suis encore à 50/50 si j'aime ou non. Si quelqu'un à un avant-après ça serait bien.

Je crois que certain d'entre vous y aller un peu rude. Personnellement, je n'haïs pas ce type de design. Ça sort de l'ordinaire et des boîtes carré. Ce design sera rendu dans la qualité des matériaux choisis et si le produit est de qualité, ça se présentera beaucoup mieux. N'oubliez cher collègues forumeurs que tous les goûts sont dans la nature, ce n'est pas parce que VOUS trouvez ça affreux qu'automatiquement, ce l'est. La où je suis d'accord avec vous est qu'il sera triste de détruire les deux premiers petits bâtiments au sud du musée sur Bishop. Pendant ce temps, on discute encore des bâtiements rue Ste-Catherine coin Jeanne-Mance qui pourrait faire place à la tour du QDS.
