What if the neighborhood itself became the expression of an overflowing creativity? What if, beyond the galleries of the new museum, the urban space could be explored like an exhibition in perpetual motion?
This is how the public development project is envisioned, as a backdrop to pre-existing institutions, making all sorts of spontaneous appropriations possible. In this neighborhood, the culture that we are used to seeing inside the walls is expressed at every corner. The urban space as we know it becomes alive and changing like the galleries of a museum, the programming of a cinema, a theater, or the stalls of a market.
A project to activate public space, the whole becomes a new pedestrian hub upstream from Parliament Hill, which, combined with the arrival of the tramway and the consolidation of the Grande Allée, will promote active transportation throughout the upper town, both inside and outside the city.
CARTIER STREET is the backbone of the district. Taking advantage of the already strong involvement of its many merchants, the street is being developed as a shared one-way right-of-way. Reducing transit and increasing the potential for business appropriation, the flexible layout allows for different daily and seasonal uses. The character of the street is then affirmed as a large longitudinal square, teeming and continuously changing, which will be emblematic by its large terraces and its market-like atmosphere.
In short, without even adding programmatic elements, the project anchors itself on the pre-existing elements of the neighborhood and becomes the expression of an overflowing creativity outside the walls.
