Redesigning of the area around Champ-de-Mars metro station

“The work Les grandes formes qui dansent by Marcelle Ferron is frozen in glass but conveys movement in time. Using an articulated object, it is possible to break down movement to create surfaces that emerge out of their motions through time and space. By repeating them, a spatiality is expressed. The intervention cannot be a mere slab… Transparency is favoured, since it lends itself to multiple relationships with the city, either vertical, horizontal, or transversal. The void of the highway need only be partially filled by incorporating a filter that fosters dialogue. This extension over the furrow spreads out to attach itself to various points of interest. The breakdown and repetition of an object’s movement thus produces in a stochastic result.”

“The jury hailed the eminently experimental and indefinable nature of this project. The métro entrance glassworks provided inspiration for mapping out a theorem on what movement might be applicable to the space. The theorem justifies a series of random iterations of transparent shapes arranged on top of the expressway, generative of multiple, shifting views.”
