Faites une entrée qui a de l'allure. Pas une sortie de secours.

it's great they'll have over 40 million to put toward this project, that's a number high enough that they can do a lot of improvements but not so high that they can go crazy on a two year project.

 

in my opinion, the place des arts is particularly special because each of the buildings comes from a different era and style.

grande salle wilfred peletier - 1950s/1960s international style

maisonneuve theatre - 1960s béton brut

the MAC - 1980s post-modernism

symphony hall - 2000s enviro/high tech vernacular

 

a substantial renovation of the MAC to remove the more flamboyantly post-modern elements (the large glass panels, for instance) would be a real shame. the areas that i think really warrant renovation are the saint catherine side and the sculpture garden. with the restaurant along jeanne mance now, it's not really necessary to open that side up like it would have been in 2000 or whatever. also, i'm not sure when people were last there, but the rooms themselves are pretty great - luminous, great volumetry, etc. the entrance is a bit cramped, however that is no reason to reorient it to saint catherine street. ideally, they'd renovate the sainte catherine-facing side into a restaurant/bar and maintain (but renovate) the plaza entrance.

J'ai la nette impression que l'entrée sur Saint-Catherine sera l'un des éléments principaux du redesign. They know it's one of the main lowdown of the place. Not welcoming at all.

Le texte stipule qu'il y aura un concours d'architecture...

[acpnc]

Un concours d'architecture devrait nous donner un édifice qui sort de l'ordinaire. Alors faisons confiance au processus, on verra bien ce qui en sortira.

[MtlMan]

On ne refera pas l'édifice. Seulement qq aménagements, refaire l'intérieur et une rallonge pour l'entrée sur Ste-Cat.
