SAINT-LAURENT, QUE. — The Borough Council of Saint-Laurent, Que. has announced the names of the three finalist teams in the multidisciplinary landscape architecture competition to develop the Cavendish-Laurin-Liesse biodiversity corridor.
The two-stage competition was open to landscape architects, biology/ecology specialists, designers and architects. The entrants had to submit their proposals by Nov. 6 of last year.
The teams were selected by a jury of eight practitioners in complementary fields and presided over by architect Pierre Thibault of Atelier Pierre Thibault, a Jan. 9 media statement said.
The finalists are:
- Groupe Rousseau Lefebvre, to be joined in the second stage of the competition by J.F. Sabourin et associes inc. and Signature design communication;
- Provencher Roy, Biofilia et White Arkitekter, to be joined by Exp in the second stage; and
- Table Architecture and LAND Italia s.r.l., to be joined in this stage by civiliti and Biodiversite Conseil.
The finalists will each be paid $24,000 and will have until March 22 to develop their concepts. The projects will then be presented to the public on April 5, at the Centre des loisirs de Saint-Laurent. The winner of the competition will be awarded a $125,000 contract to develop the master plan to design the biodiversity corridor.
“Saint-Laurent is proud to organize, in partnership with Ville de Montreal’s Bureau du design, the first competition of this kind in Montreal,” said Saint-Laurent Mayor Alan DeSousa in the statement. “Included in our Local Sustainable Development Plan for 2017-2020, this initiative is enabling us to confirm the importance that our administration attaches to biological diversity.”
