Jury’s Comments, Inter-university Charrette 2006

President of the jury : Cécile Baird, architect, Atelier B.R.I.C.
Members of the jury : Marianne F. Potvin , M.Arch., architecture intern at Saia Barbarese Topouzanov architects; Stephan Tischer, professor, faculté de l'aménagement de Université de Montréal; Luc Laporte, architect; Bryan Demchinsky, journalist, The Gazette.

First Prize: Team 27

The members of the jury very much appreciated the fact that this visionary yet pragmatic project maintains a continuity with the site’s previous developmental phases. The team proposed a framework of public spaces, thoroughfares and squares forming landscapes connected to Montreal’s existing network. It seems evident to us that a neighbourhood could develop here, based on isolated monuments (silos) and a typical urban fabric (street grid).

Second Prize (ex aequo): Team 12

The narrative character of this project immediately won over the jury. Rather than presenting a literal plan for the development of the site, the team offered a way of reflecting on the ongoing increase in urban density through a playful story and a highly poetic presentation.

Second Prize (ex aequo): Team 22

This proposal’s fine model appealed to the sensibility and imagination of each one of us. The Peel basin site is infused with an ordered landscape, forming a framework or subdivision that would be built up progressively. Observers must guess at the shape and density of the future built environment; they must, so to speak, project their own vision onto the project.

Honourable Mention: Team 36

This proposal’s excellent graphic quality very much impressed the jury. The analytic method and range of colour, as well as the notion of strewing containers about the site like so many “follies,” no doubt reference Tschumi’s Parc de la Villette in Paris. The idea of extending and superimposing neighbouring urban frameworks was particularly interesting.

Honourable Mention: Team 17

This project stirred controversy among the members of the jury, as it adhered to neither the format nor the program prescribed. Nonetheless, it was very well presented. Although some judged the project, inspired by the site’s silo, to be impertinent, others appreciated its message as both a social and a spatial critique.

Honourable Mention: Team 24

The majority of the jury’s members were won over by the quality of this proposal’s presentation panel. Using bright colours, the graphic layout of the virtual model shows bars that seem to be inspired by the forms of the neighbouring basins. However, the scale of the intervention was disturbing.
