DesignInquiry - DesignCity Montreal

DesignInquiry: DesignCity Montreal

DesignInquiry: DesignCity Montreal is an expedition exploring a landscape that flags itself as developed and designed.

In 2006, Montreal was designated by UNESCO as the first and only North American City of Design.

From the cultural legacy of Expo 67 and the 1976 Olympics, to numerous examples of contemporary creative work including art, fashion, performing arts and architecture, Montreal is clearly a creative hotspot.

Its languages, its prejudices, its line-ups, la mode: all of these elements inform Montreal's global disposition and local temperament.

DesignInquiry: DesignCity Montreal participants will explore the Ville de Montreal for five nights and six days, sleep in dorms that are still partly occupied by a nunnery, and live, work and cook together all across the city.

DesignCity findings will be published in the DesignInquiry journal and exhibited at Design Montreal's Portes Ouvertes - a high profile series of events opening June 3.
