  • The Former Montreal Children's Hospital Project
    The Former Montreal Children’s Hospital Project: Underplanning and Overbuilding The developer of the former Montreal Children’s Hospital site goes to some pains to assert that its proposal meets the goals of the urban planning programme of Montreal’s Quartier des grands jardins. We are told that this redevelopment will “preserve built heritage, increase public green space, and consolidate the residential character of the district.” As an immediate neighbour, and with 8% of the site lying within its borders, the City of Westmount has been asked to comment. In our view, this project turns its back on heritage, adds no real green space, and does nothing to attract young families. And above all, the buildings proposed are egregiously too tall. As a passing nod to the area’s built heritage, the project will conserve the colonnaded nurses’ building built in 1919. Yet the adjacent 1931 Art Deco building will be demolished. This project, in effect, amounts to the wholesale importation of the Griffintown formula. A smattering of heritage buildings are grudgingly preserved, stuffed in beside massive modern behemoths whose very height causes them to thumb their noses at any remaining older low-rise buildings. In common with the forest of residential towers currently springing up along René-Lévesque and points south – including on the land across from the Canadian Centre for Architecture – they all have the same high densities in an exclusively upward rather than outward physical expression. Whether the Montreal market is tired of this high-rise formula, only the future will reveal. Certainly, it does no service to the past.

  • REPORT and RECOMMENDATIONS As a Part of a Detailed Planning
    WORKING DOCUMENT REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS as a part of a detailed planning exercise of the Southeast Sector of Westmount July 10, 2018 Report and recommendations - Southeast Sector EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In the latest version of its Planning Programme, amended February 1, 2016, the City of Westmount expressed its will to develop a detailed planning programme for the Southeast Sector of the city. Acting as an interface between the Montreal Borough of Ville-Marie and the rest of the city of Westmount, several major urban transformations have marked the development of the Southeast Sector over the last century, leaving it particularly unstructured and inconsistent with the image of the city of Westmount. First impacted by the extension of Dorchester Boulevard in the 1960s, then by the construction of large urban complexes on Sainte-Catherine Street, and finally by a long and arduous devitalisation process of its commercial arteries, this sector needs to be redefined. Not having the distinctive qualities or characteristics of the city of Westmount nor those of the city centre, the sector is characterized mainly by an extremely diverse built environment (massing, heights, architecture, condition of buildings, etc.) with parking areas and vacant lots. All of this rests on a substantially oversized and impervious arterial system with a quality of public space that is less than desirable. It is within this context that a well-considered and comprehensive urban planning strategy is required for the requalification of this distinct sector to harmonize it with its immediate and surrounding urban environments. Far from wanting to present a formal development proposal for the future of the sector, this report aims at submitting interesting redevelopment options for the Southeast.

  • Planning Programme September 2, 2014 (Amended February 1, 2016)
    Westmount Planning Programme September 2, 2014 (Amended February 1, 2016) Introduction The Westmount Planning Programme sets the directions for the planning and the development of the municipality. The Plan, and the implementation tools that flow from it (such as the zoning, site planning and architectural integration pro- grammes and other bylaws), set the framework for the conservation, and in a few cases, the redevelopment, of neighbourhoods, streets, buildings and open spaces. The Planning Programme sets objectives to resolve the planning issues presently before our city. It was drafted according to the requirements of the Act Respecting Land Use Planning and Development with regard to its content, and submitted to the citizens of Westmount for public consultation according to the rules outlined in the said Act. Adjustments were made to take into account as much as possible the comments made by the citizens who attended the consul- tation meeting. The document is divided into five sections. The first section provides a brief pic- ture of the territory’s current state, and of its population. The second section pre- sents the planning approach, while the third section details the planning goals and the different urban planning issues. Finally, the fourth and fifth sections de- scribe the proposed directions for the areas to be revitalized and the parameters of the urban planning by-laws with regard to land use and densities for the whole territory. The Planning Programme will provide the citizens, the members of Council and the administration with a clear reference for any further action affecting the terri- tory of Westmount.

  • Every Building Has a Story the Heart Has Reasons
    Every Building Has A Story The Heart Has Reasons Cover image: Photo of the performance piece on the grounds of the Grand Seminaire. A figure of an old woman, dressed in black, with a long, black walking stick, is framed by the two remaining bastions of the former 17th century Fort de la Montagne. It is fall. She holds an apple. Her stick and apple are reminiscent, or perhaps parodies of a sceptre and orb with all the symbolism and irony that provides but her stick also harks back to the indigenous practise of the "talking stick" or speaker's staff. But the towers, the walking stick, and the apple are so much more, as is the woman. It's a photo that shouts "Tell me more!” N.B. the current book cover is for placement only and features the David Lewis House c2000 Book title: The title comes from a notation found in the "Pensées" by Blaise Pascal: "The heart has reasons, reason does not understand". So it is with memories. Why are some of our memories as clear as day after many decades and others murky or that vanish completely? Why do we remember that name, that place but not another? This performance piece is a walk through a selection of my memories, beginning with my arrival in the Port of Montreal as a young 21-year-old immigrant. It isn't, of course, a life story per se. More a glimpse into the personal memories evoked by some of the buildings and places in and around the Shaughnessy Village area of Montreal's Ville Marie borough.
