Description

Winner of the architectural competition for the Rimouski performance hall, Dan S. Hanganu's project aroused the enthusiasm of the jury for its simplicity, both in terms of the building's volumetry and in the general interior layout. Indeed, the members emphasized the extreme clarity of the spatial organization and the continuity that exists between the main foyer and the exterior space. The notion of integration with the existing environment is well handled and the architectural proposal suggests an interesting dialogue with the neighbouring buildings. The relationship of the main pavilion to the existing landscape and infrastructure is noted, as well as the potential for future development.

Jury Report

The jury appreciated and highlighted the following elements:
- The richness of the integration of the project and the dialogue it maintains with the neighboring buildings, especially at the level of the main façade.
- The simplicity of the volumetric response and the treatment of the whole project. Specifically, the positioning of the administrative functions on the "southwest" side, which allows for the integration of the Civic Center's volumetry and simplifies the intervention on the "northeast" side.
- The relevance of the desired link between the exterior public space and the foyer, accurately translated into continuity.
- The presence on the street offered by the treatment of the foyer and the functional flexibility offered by its interior layout.
- The great clarity of the spatial organization.
- The quality of the programmatic responses and the links maintained between the different components of the project.
- The programmatic improvement of an "atrium" at the junction of the two buildings.
- The flexibility offered by the positioning of the reception functions and the desired proximity to the administrative spaces.
- The simplicity of the proposed redevelopment inside the Civic Center.
- The potential of the urban links that the project suggests, beyond the limits of the building, which gives the tracks of a most promising future development.
