The Citizens' Field
This project is an original spatialization of an authentic public square. Its plan is attached to a unique lighting device that employs social networking technologies to enable an engaged and lively democratic representation. The space is filled with symbolic references to the values of civic responsibility. A series of small cafes, with a human dimension, 50 seats and less, a place par excellence of exchange is integrated into a large wall of mirrored glass. The debates can begin!

The jury associates this authentic and vast civic square with a praise of public space and a reinvented Champ-de-Mars in phase with the institutional context that surrounds it on its southern front. The void allows the development of a plaque available to technological media, a field of excellence in Montreal. The expression of the citizen through the play of light and the proposal of a megaphone structure testify to the democratic tradition of Montreal and project a renewed image. We note the treatment of the northern interface of the site by the development of the "citizen's reflection wall". The proposal expresses an idea taken to its extreme that could be realized totally or not. The project would also benefit from respecting the existing components of interest, such as the metro kiosk, by juxtaposing rather than smothering it.
