"The main objective of this project is to make the entire site the cultural home of the City of Lévis, in which a museum (the Louise Carrier House) and a dramatic arts center (the Anglican) are already located."

In this project, the landscape dimension is generative since the architects conceived the whole as a place and not as a building. The close relationship between architecture and nature serves here to integrate the architectural intervention by blending it into a landscape of trees, plantings and sculptures.
The architects wished to act by contrast and to mark the distance between the foyer, housed in the new part of contemporary construction, and the hall, housed in the valuable object that is the Anglican.
The square is an important component of the project. The intention was to offer the users of the theater an urban agora made up of terraces and partially covered by a canopy. This space converges with the foyer vestibule and the glass column is formed by the passenger elevator. The canopy, formed by an inclined plane, is supported by an openwork wall made of "corten" steel profiles that serves as a display wall for large posters printed on canvas, stretched between heaven and earth.
