Architectural dialogues
With its restraint and permeability, the new Claire and Marc Bourgie Pavilion of Quebec and Canadian Art establishes a natural dialogue with the city. From every level, the glazed openings offer a view of the city and, at the building’s foot, the museum’s sculpture garden, a linear exhibition of works of public art bordering the museum. In addition, the glassed-in atrium at the top of the pavilion offers a strong visual link with Mount Royal, an emblematic element of Montreal’s identity.
