  • The International District of Montreal
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia Engineering 165 ( 2016 ) 726 – 729 15th International scientific conference “Underground Urbanisation as a Prerequisite for Sustainable Development” Over & underground spaces & networks integrations a case study: the international district of Montreal a, Clément Demers * aQuartier international de Montréal,Montreal, Canada Abstract Downtown Montreal underwent a major urban renewal in 2000–2004. The Quartier international de Montréal (QIM) is held by many as one of the finest examples of urban design in Canada. The main purpose of the project was to restore the continuity of Montreal's downtown, broken by the gaping trench of the Ville-Marie Expressway since the 1960s, and thus to bridge the historic Old Montreal district the existing downtown business district centred around Place Ville-Marie. Other goals included the beautification of the built environment, creation of elegant city squares, showcase of Quebec design and public art, and stimulation of world-class real estate development at the heart of Montreal. The two major north-south underground pedestrian pathways were connected by the missing link put in place beneath the CDP Capital Centre and Place Jean-Paul Riopelle. Nearly 1.3 kilometers of underground corridors, animated by public art, were created and tripled access to the subway. The goal of the presentation is to present an approach to developing Air Rights above an underground (trench) expressway in a downtown area in consideration with urban design aspects, building design constraints, technical, legal and economic aspects. This session will examine the results of this significant original project, the ongoing vision for this major part of the city, and what future development activity is likely to take place.

  • Place Victoria: a Joint Venture Between Luigi Moretti and Pier Luigi Nervi
    PLACE VICTORIA: A JOINT VENTURE BETWEEN LUIGI MORETTI AND PIER LUIGI NERVI Adrian Sheppard, FRAIC McGill University, Montreal INTRODUCTION lace Victoria stands alone amongst Moretti’s many buildings. The very fact that it deviates ideologically and formally from the rest of his oeuvre makes the project significant and P revelatory of Moretti’s architecture and of the man. The project neither follows the architectural principles of his prewar Rationalist period, nor those of his later expressionist phase. This divergence from his lifelong thinking is more the result of circumstances than the outcome of a re-evaluation of a well-defined design approach. The saga of the design process is a fascinating one for it illustrates how Moretti’s early ideas for the urban skyscraper changed continuously with his increased knowledge and awareness of the problem. He began by attempting to redefine the form and the use of the modern high-rise, but ended with an elegant landmark rather than a breakthrough. Instead of the heroic sculptural object he had hoped to create, he produced a highly functional and very beautiful tower. By Moretti’s earlier (and later) standards, the final version of Place Victoria is a remarkably disciplined and controlled work of architecture in which the usual concerns for self- expression and visual exhilaration are absent. This new formal clarity and structural logic are in great part attributable to his collaborator, engineer, Pier Luigi Nervi. The concept of Place Victoria is the outcome of a coming together of a radical architect and a conservative engineer. In culture and temperament, Nervi and Moretti were opposites.
