The Planetarium and the Jardin de Sciences reception area are located in the heart of a historic garden, situated between the zoology and mineralogy institutes. The project seeks to establish a link between both parts of the campus, as well as give increased visibility to the Jardin de Sciences.
The project starts following the architectural competition won by the firm in partnership with ARCANE. The project’s concept is based on the traces of the past found on the Grand Moulins de Villancourt patrimonial site. In order to satisfy the new building requirements, il was impossible to keep the existing building but it was very important to pay it a tribute by recreating its silhouette.
The new exploration centre of the Parc de la Rivière-des-Milles-Îles in Laval offers a space for the interpretation of surrounding ecosystems as well as annual educational activities. The major intervention is the demolition of the old pavilion and the construction of a new center at least twice as big.
After going head-to-head with over 60 other teams, Cardin Julien won the mandate for Montreal’s Rio Tinto Alcan planetarium during an international competition. The project is distinguished by its quality, creativity, and the development of a concept that honours the client’s original vision.
Arching over Highway 132, the new Normandie walkway connects LeMoyne Park and Marie-Victorin Park following the demolition of the old walkway during the winter of 2015. The city wants the new walkway to be accessible to everyone, not just cyclists: it was designed for universal use given local demographics (multiple senior homes, etc.).
The “Le Triangle” park project consists of a new 8,600 m2 park housing an arboretum, exterior bleachers, and a public square with eye-catching fountains.
