This webinar is part of the RAIC 2025 Conference on Architecture!
In 2019, the City of Montreal adopted the Agenda montréalais 2030 pour la qualité et l'exemplarité en design et en architecture, a commitment document that positions architects as allies of the City in achieving the socio-ecological transition. During the session, the Bureau du design de la Ville de Montréal will present a series of development and knowledge acquisition initiatives undertaken to illustrate how the metropolis' industrial territories can contribute to the City's vision of the future. The future urban and mobility plan (PUM 2050) identifies 3 metropolitan innovation zones (ZIM). Today, these 1st and 2nd generation economic zones are mostly monofunctional, and face major planning challenges that are holding back the development of the niches of the 4th industrial revolution. The case of Lachine Canal 4.0 will be used to show how the themes of reuse and circularity, at the heart of the economic transformation strategy, can be used to reshape the landscape of this emblematic employment hub.
Explain the Ville de Montréal’s position on quality in design and architecture, highlighting its key priorities and values.
Analyze the concept of quality in design and architecture through the lens of six major notions: resilience; environment; economy; culture; equity, diversity and inclusion; and health and well-being.
Demonstrate ways industrial areas can contribute to the municipal objectives of Montréal 2030, based on current urban planning goals and strategies.
Evaluate and draw inspiration from the Lachine Canal 4.0 case study, with emphasis on the principles of reuse and circularity.
Subject Matter Expert:
Patrick Marmen
M.Arch
Commissioner and Team Leader, Design Office, City of Montreal
Patrick holds bachelor's and master's degrees in architecture from Université Laval, and is interested in the implementation of mechanisms that promote and frame the quality of public and private development projects, as well as in cultural land-use planning approaches. After working on a number of urban and landscape characterization studies, in 2011 he joined the UNESCO Chair in Landscape and Environment at Université de Montréal, where he worked on the creation of research-through-design projects, including the YUL/MTL Landscapes in Motion international ideas competition, as well as coordinating international urban design workshops (WAT_UNESCO) held in Brazil, China and France. Before joining the Bureau du design in the fall of 2020, he contributed to the supervision of landscape architecture and urban design competitions, including that for the redevelopment of McGill College Avenue in Montreal, as well as facilitating design panels. Driven by a desire to share his enthusiasm for the city and its development, he has been a lecturer at the Université de Montréal's School of Urban Planning and Landscape Architecture. He was also a member of the urban planning advisory committee of the Le Sud-Ouest borough and president of the City of Montreal's Jacques Viger committee.
