Year 1998-2004

Restoring the connection between two of Québec’s major tourist destinations was the central challenge addressed by this large-scale urban redevelopment project.

The Quartier international de Montréal offers a new model of innovation in the design and development of cultural programming within a district defined by an unparalleled concentration of international activity—both provincially and nationally.
