Caroline-Dawson Library and Le Prévost Park - Qualification phase

The installation of the Villeray neighborhood library in connection with Le Prévost Park offers a dual opportunity for spatial and identity consolidation, strengthening a civic bond with high ecological value that is resilient and evolving. The project must radiate beyond its footprint to create an important civic space that fosters social ties: a reference point for the community.

The appropriateness of the installation between Patro Villeray and Le Prévost Park forms the basis of our conceptual approach: creating an exemplary urban and architectural ensemble, a fusion of architecture, landscape, and city. Between esplanades, gardens, and promenades, a garden of ideas takes shape, whose status and physical representation define an architecture that is primarily political, in strong dialogue with the park and its surrounding context.
