The architectural milieu is undergoing a unique creative renaissance that is echoed in major transformations of living environments. With it comes a growing desire to design spaces that are more open to the cityscape, bathed in light, functional, comfortable, and more attuned to us and our needs. Provencher Roy + Associés sees each project as creating an identity that is in harmony with its environment, and as an exercise in improving quality of life in the urban, social and built environment. The exhibition provides an insight into this process, which is above all creative, relevant, and responsive to the needs of clients and users, but also respects program requirements as well as the building site and context. The creative process is illustrated in a presentation of landmark projects which affords a glimpse into life in a studio, where projects actually take shape. This micro-environment is the womb of architectural creation and the locus of a host of activities that contribute to the process. The exhibition reveals the entire development process, the creative environment and the team spirit that pervades the studio. • Design / video production: Dave Macleod et Stéphane Caissy / it’s not staged.com • Ambient sound recording and mixing: Pat Tousignant / it’s not staged.com • Original music: philippelegris.com • Photos : Alexi Hobbs
