Church of La Visitation
The oldest church on the Island of Montreal, La Visitation Church was built at the Sault-au-Récollet rapids on the northern edge of the island between 1749 and 1752.
Over the generations, many elements of the interior decoration of the church have been modified or replaced by different craftsmen and architects. The most recent changes date from the 1950s, when reforms to the liturgy brought transformations to the physical configuration of many churches. The furniture was modified, and a more colourful vision of the interiors was realized. The church building was classified as a cultural asset in 1974 and the complete property was declared a protection area in 1975 by the province of Quebec.

ANBASSA
Dans le centre-ville de Pantin, près de Paris, un bâtiment de bureaux de 1935 a été subtilement transformé en une brûlerie de café, destinée à la vente et à la consommation de cafés de spécialité, par l’agence d’architecture italo-mexicaine Office Abrami Rojas. L’agence, qui a une sympathie particulière pour les bâtiments existants, a rapidement transformé l’exercice de l’aménagement intérieur en un véritable projet de restauration.

David Chipperfield complete renovation of Venice’s Procuratie Vecchie on the Piazza San Marco
In 2017, David Chipperfield’s Milan studio won the commision for the renovation of the Procuratie Vecchia, a historic landmark on the north side of Venice’s Piazza San Marco. After five years of work, the building is now accessible to the public for the first time in 500 years. Central to Chipperfield’s philosophy for restoration, the project is not defined by a singular architectural gesture, but rather through a series of interventions that carefully consider the complexity of the existing building fabric.
