Concept design:
Our UQÀM graduate student design team won a competition to redesign the Place Pasteur public space, which is managed by UQÀM and the Quartier des Spectacles. Our mission was to call attention to the urban ecosystem and beautiful trees inhabiting the space and also give students, visitors and citizens a place to meet and connect. We were responsible for the concept creation and the project was produced in collaboration with a multidisciplinary team of professionals from the academic, non-profit and private sectors.
