Le New York Times annonce le décès, à l'âge de 93 ans, de Henry Cobb, l'architecte en charge de la construction de la Place Ville-Marie en 1962. Voici un extrait de l'article:

« Mr. Cobb was only 29 when Mr. Zeckendorf put him in charge of Place Ville Marie, a 4 million-square-foot office and shopping complex in Montreal, its main building standing 42 stories. Mr. Cobb said the tower’s cruciform shape was derived from Le Corbusier, one of the most influential modernists of the 20th century. »

Visite aujourd hui du nouveau Food court. Tres reussi, la verriere est tres belle. Effectivement, certaines parties du food court sont relativement sombres.
