Olivier Lajeunesse-Travers
Microclimat
Olivier Lajeunesse-Travers co-founded the Architecture Microclimat firm in 2012. Sensitive to issues of densification in Montréal, he seeks, through his work, to better grasp our way of inhabiting the city, and to integrate the results of his explorations to a practice that is in constant dialogue with its environment. His involvement with Héritage Montréal since 2014 is a testament to his desire to understand the city and participate in its evolution, a process through which architecture is understood as an indicator of an era and its aspirations.
