Architectes en série is a video series documenting projects published in the reference manual of Québec’s association of private-practice architects. They feature interviews with architects along with their collaborators and clients that provide insights into their work and added value.

The first episode explores the diversity of architects’ interventions via the Prenez Place project, an example of spatial planning for a public site that addressed issues and needs stemming from COVID-19. Jean-François St-Onge and Marie-Andrée Groleau of ADHOC architectes explain how they met the project’s time and budget challenges through exemplary collaboration among a multidisciplinary team that included architects, graphic designers and artisans. This project also demonstrates how architecture and collaboration can drive innovation and generate strong social and economic impact, when a project is accessible and meaningful.

This video is part of an online series initiated and funded by the Association des Architectes en pratique privée du Québec (@AAPPQ) in collaboration with Montréal’s Bureau du design and with support from fdp – Private Management.

Financial support was also provided through the Agreement on the Cultural Development of Montréal between the City of Montréal and the Government of Québec.
