Marche par
Jean-Maxime Dufresne et Jean-François Prost (atelier SYN-)
Cette marche urbaine prend comme canevas de travail le concept de dé-programmation : une idée d'abord associée, dans sa dimension plus péjorative, à une déstructuration ressentie depuis quelques années dans ce secteur parfois vampirisé qui inclut l'Université Concordia, notamment avec la fermeture du Forum en 1996 et des années subséquentes de paralysie immobilière. En dissonance avec l'interprétation habituelle du programme architectural, ce concept pourrait-il plutôt être exploré par le biais d'actions individuelles et collectives qui marquent une différence et introduisent de l'exception? Manque d'ancrages et forte mobilité étudiante, densité critique de population et brassages culturels adaptés au high rise : autant d'ingrédients actifs pour alimenter cette réflexion. La marche explorera quelques réalités spatiales ou minoritaires susceptibles d'entrer en interaction avec des jeux d'influence et des visions d'ensemble qui se dessinent pour l'avenir du secteur.
Point de rencontre au CAMP, situé dans l'atrium du pavillon de la bibliothéque McConnell, devant la galerie, 1400 boul. de Maisonneuve O.

Walk with
Jean-Maxime Dufresne and Jean-François Prost (atelier SYN-)
This urban walking tour centres around the concept of de-programming: an idea initially tied to the progressive breakdown and "vampirization" of Montréal's downtown area where Concordia's main campus is located. This collapse became most visible with the closing of the Montreal Forum in 1996 and continued with the subsequent period of stagnation in real estate. Bypassing a more traditional interpretation of how we engage with architecture, this tour asks how de-programming can be explored through individual and collective actions that introduce difference and exception. Should we consider issues such as a lack of stability, high student mobility, critical population density and culturally-induced adaptations of the high rise to potentially act as ingredients for stimulating this reflection? The walk will highlight some spatial/marginalized realities and their interactions with visions of influence and profit currently being laid out for the neighborhood.
Departure point at the Camp, in the Atrium of the McConnell Library Building, located in front of the Gallery, 1400 boul. de Maisonneuve O.
