City Life in Place Des Arts City life in Place des Arts Prepared by Mahsa Mozayeni Supervised by Dr. Ipek Tureli Peter Guo-hua Fu School of Architecture McGill University, Montreal September 2018 Key words: Place des Arts, Urban design, Public space, Social interaction, Public life Abstract Place des Arts, in the Quartier des Spectacles, is one of the Montreal districts planned to increase socio-cultural activities by providing large-scale events and enhancing the quality of urban space to stimulate people to join together in city spaces and enjoy city life. The aim of this research is to analyze Place des Arts as a cultural and people-oriented public space to investigate how vibrant public life takes place in Place des Arts and how different people, as the users of this place, perceive it. This research argues whether Place des Arts is successful in terms of the quality of public life in order to explore how people interact with this public space in everyday life. By simultaneously focusing on observing current public life in Place des Arts, the semi- structured interviews with different users and studying the development process of Place des Arts, this paper attempts to explore what makes the experiences in Place des Arts comfortable and interesting for its users and how people use this public space for optional activities and social interaction.

Cette recherche plaide en faveur du succès de la Place des Arts en termes de qualité de la vie publique afin d’explorer comment les gens interagissent avec cet espace public dans la vie quotidienne. En mettant l'accent simultanément sur l'observation de la vie publique actuelle à la Place des Arts, les entrevues semi-structurées avec différents utilisateurs et l'étude du processus de développement de la Place des Arts, cette recherche tente d'explorer ce qui rend les expériences de la Place des Arts confortables et intéressantes pour ses utilisateurs et comment les gens utilisent cet espace public pour des activités facultatives et des interactions sociales. Il montre également les limites pratiques du concept de ville créative dans la revitalisation culturelle de la Place des Arts. Cette recherche est menée pour déterminer les caractéristiques spatiales et sociales de la Place des Arts qui favorisent la qualité de la vie publique. 4 City life in Place des Arts Mahsa Mozayeni Acknowledgement I would like to thank my supervisor Dr. Ipek Tureli for her continuous guidance, valuable suggestions and availability over the last year that helped to complete this research.

This research examines the spatial and social experience of Place des Arts specially from the user’s perspective to investigate where and how dynamic public life takes place in this attractive city space. Although many current revitalization initiatives are centered on high technology or large infrastructures, this research emphasizes the essential role that cultural and artistic activities can play in the urban revitalization process to make urban spaces attractive. It also shows the practical limitations of the creative city concept in the cultural revitalization of Place des Arts. The different data collection methods, including the review of policy documents and plans, semi-structured interviews, site observation, tracing, photography and behavioral mapping provide the detailed foundation for the analysis of public life in Place des Arts as a vibrant and cultural public space. 1.2 Objective and Research Questions The objectives of this research are to study people’s activities and behavioral patterns in Place des Arts and to examine the democratic, social and spatial characteristics that make public life vibrant in this cultural public space. The research question for this study is as follows: How does vibrant public life take place in Place des Arts form and how different people perceive it? By simultaneously focusing on observing current public life in Place des Arts, the interviews with users and studying the development process of Place des Arts, this paper attempts to explore 7 City life in Place des Arts Mahsa Mozayeni what makes the experiences in Place des Arts comfortable and interesting for its users and how people use this public space for social activities and interactions.

À ville unique, projet unique Métropole culturelle et ville UNESCO de design, Montréal mise sur sa vitalité et sa créativité pour favoriser sa croissance et se définir à l’échelle internationale. Avec le Quartier des spectacles, la Ville de Montréal réalise l’un des plus importants projets de réaména- gement urbain de la dernière décennie. Inspirée par la vision du milieu culturel, l’administration municipale a entrepris la revitalisation d’un secteur névralgique du centre-ville, qui présentait depuis de nombreuses années un caractère déstructuré. La Ville a mis sur pied une structure de gouvernance particulière afin de soutenir le déploiement du projet en misant sur une concertation étroite avec les parties prenantes du milieu : les organismes culturels, les grands proprié- taires immobiliers, les commerçants, les institutions publiques et d’enseignement ainsi que les résidents. Après s’être assurée de la participation financière du gouvernement du Canada et du gouvernement du Québec, la Ville a également soutenu et mandaté le milieu déjà activement engagé au sein du Partenariat du Quartier des spectacles, organisme sans but lucratif, pour prendre en charge plusieurs activités de promotion, d’animation et de gestion du Quartier. Portés par cet élan, les partenaires s’attachent à consolider, à mettre en valeur et à développer la vocation culturelle du Quartier et à permettre aux organismes présents sur le territoire de demeurer au centre-ville.

It is located in a diversified area that borders institutional, residential and retail uses. This concentration of cultural activity is a major asset for the vitality of the area and Montréal’s profile. However, this poses various constraints on residential development projects and the design of public spaces. The overall quality of the Quartier des spectacles is diminished by the presence of a number of vacant or parking lots. The development of these lots, especially those on Sainte-Catherine Street, would give the Quartier des spectacles a coherence that it currently lacks. However, this development must take into consideration the requirements of outdoor events and reserve open space for public purposes.

  • The Grace of a Gesture Rafael Lozano-Hemmer Angelica Mesiti EM15
    Already Fifty Years! The Grace of a Gesture Rafael Lozano-Hemmer Angelica Mesiti EM15 • BIAN Ryoji Ikeda Artur Zmijewski Printemps du MAC Nocturnes Magazine of the contemporain Musée d’art de Montréal Volume 25, Number 1 — Summer 25, 2014 Volume editorial | 1 In his classic work The Gift, French anthropologist Marcel Mauss theorizes and reflects upon the giver, the gift and the recipient: “The objects are never completely separated from the men who exchange them,” he writes tellingly. An indissoluble link between the giver and the gift— the gift being a part of the giver—makes the act of giving not as innocent a transaction as it might seem. Indeed, it creates a social bond and an obligation to reciprocate on the part of the recipient. It creates relationships. Reciprocity and exchange are the basis of friendship, perhaps also of just and prosperous societies. Ultimately, reciprocity promotes a better way of living. Photo: George Fok © 2013 The month of June marks the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Musée d’art con- temporain, a museum that grew out of the wishes, the enterprise and, perhaps most impor- tantly, the donations of collectors and artists. The Musée’s very inception is the result of the kindness of givers. The Grace of a Gesture is our sprawling homage to the builders and makers of the MAC, a celebratory exhibition comprising some 200 artworks donated over the last fifty years—a formal act of reciprocity, in the form of an exhibition, for the generosity of the museum’s many donors and supporters.
