Figure Ground
Montreal, 2019Exhibition with Atelier Barda and philosopher Rafael Ziegler at the Biosphere Environment Museum
The adaptive reuse of the formerly active Francon quarry is an evolutionary proposal for a post industrial site. The intervention enables a symbiotic relationship between its different actors; inhabitants, fauna, and flora. The intended public space condenses themes such as large scale phytodepuration with the reuse of wastewater and polluted snow, the harmonization of a fractured site, and the reuse of a local building material. It presents a microcosm where environmental, educational, cultural, and historical vocations intertwine.
