The Ordre des architectes du Québec (OAQ) unveiled the 11 winners of its Architecture Awards of Excellence for 2021 during an online gala.
The
Grand Prix d’Excellence en Architecture 2021 was awarded to the firms Lemay and Atelier 21 for their restoration of the building envelope of the Grand Théâtre in Québec City. Designed by architect Victor Prus and inaugurated in 1971, the building in the provincial capital required major work to preserve its exterior, which features a mural by sculptor Jordi Bonet. The jury noted that with the addition of a new, fully transparent envelope, the longevity of this major modernist work is assured.
