The Métamorphoses créatives for the Montmorency sector is a multidisciplinary design competition aimed at developing a guideline book for the narrative and visual concept of the Montmorency sector of downtown Laval, including the plans and estimates for a first intervention.
A cultural vision for the Montmorency sector, entitled Métamorphoses créatives, was developed by the City and partners from the cultural and educational communities in order to provide the sector with a unique signature, affirming the sense of belonging that Laval residents have for their city and contributing to its extra-mural appeal. The sector aspired to be more than a place of transit, but rather a neighbourhood where residents, students, workers and visitors take an active part in the development of a lively and attractive neighbourhood, a stimulating living and business environment.
Through the implementation of this competition, the City sought to visually materialize the vision Métamorphoses créatives in order to translate it into clear intervention principles to create a strong, exclusive and contemporary signature that would enhance the human and creative experience. The narrative and visual concept presented had to define the atmosphere of the spaces and be easily adaptable over the next few years.
The size of the area under consideration meant that the interventions had to be modulated on different scales. For example, the creation of sub-areas was sought in order to create environments offering a variety of experiences: attending a large-scale cultural event, window-shopping, relaxing in the great outdoors, strolling, enjoying meeting spaces, contemplating a work of art, etc. Despite this modulation, a coherence of formal languages was expected in order to create an environment with distinctive and easily recognizable characteristics.
