MBAM block set, Montreal, Qc. Canada

DESCRIPTION

Removable installation in a variety of configurations over 5 years to enliven the avenue du Musée. Like a set of blocks, the construction system invites you to play, relax and take a break to appreciate the body of work in the Sculpture Garden. In the playful, colorful spirit of Montreal's landscaping, the avenue-scale intervention uses the repetition of a single wooden module, allowing multiple configurations over the years. The stacking allows for a variety of inclusive appropriations, offering moments of pause, alone or in groups. At the heart of the new flower gardens, the remarkable built environment and the museum city's corpus of works of art, the project contributes to enriching a centuries-old tradition of urban design in Montreal, rooted in the city's rich historical and natural heritage.
