Description

The project is characterized by a veil/architectural screen composed of aluminum strips, an "event stairway," a wood interior, illuminated lounge areas and suspended walkways above Bishop Street, large exhibition halls, workshops, and art therapy spaces. The program of this 4,000 m² addition is spread over six levels and includes functional links with the Jean-Noël Desmarais Pavilion, allowing for easy circulation between the two buildings.

In addition to the museum functions concentrated on the four upper levels, the program includes common areas--the "event stairway," the entrance hall, and a reception area for visitors--ateliers for courses and temporary exhibitions, a cafeteria that can accommodate groups of up to 260 children, cloakrooms, workshops for toddlers, and support services and spaces.

The event stairway offers a unique museum experience focused on visitors rather than objects. Aside from being an effective circulation element, this space is designed for strolling. It provides an interior urban promenade that is fluid and luminous, with breathtaking views of the mountain and the river, two important visual landmarks that help to orient visitors.

The glass volumes of the Pavilion for Peace are dressed in an aluminum lacework designed to modulate the light inside the museum and showcase the sense of rotation of the two building blocks--one aligned with the street and the other turned towards the mountain. The lacework is composed of rows of strips arranged at different spacings, which express the tension of the pivot point on the façade by a higher density. For each row, the number of strips was determined by following the Fibonacci sequence, from two to five rods, to create the different modulations.

The veil/screen is manufactured with custom-made extruded aluminum strips, which optimized production cost while guaranteeing high quality precision. The strips were mounted on a stainless steel substructure, which is supported by the curtain wall held by vertical mullions. The research work to find innovation solutions that led to the construction of this envelope is the result of a design process developed in close collaboration with the industry. Many tests were carried out to develop a unique assembly system, where the lightness of aluminum made the fine and elegant composition of the curtain wall components possible.

During the day, the pavilion envelope is animated by its environment and the changing light, while in the evening it turns into a lantern in the cityscape, revealing the warm wood spaces through the metal veil.

The concept affirms major concerns regarding sustainable development, local consumption, and respect for the surrounding heritage. The following main elements were considered: white roofs limiting heat islands in urban areas, abundance of natural light, LED lighting, "low-E" triple glass, white oak processed in Quebec, superior insulation, and energy efficiency including energy recovery via mechanical systems. The team made sure to achieve museum standards of international quality while by giving a special effort to the simplicity of construction details and by favouring the use of technologies and materials from Quebec.
