While sometimes students want to do a big gesture, this student was confident enough to produce a calm approach.” – Stephan Chevalier, juror
An addition to a Montreal ballet school weaves quietly into its neighbourhood fabric, taking cues from the area’s eclectic mix of typologies.
Montreal’s Milton Park neighbourhood, east of McGill University’s main campus, has a coherent but messy built fabric that is part of its charm. Shaped by divergent social, morphological and demographic changes, its buildings range from Victorian townhouses to modernist high-rises.
