The Ville de Montréal has launched an international competition for the design of 3D platforms called 'worksite information modules.' The competition seeks proposals that mitigate the adverse impacts of worksites on the quality of life of residents and the economic vitality of surrounding areas.
Designers are invited to reflect on the topic of the worksite information module as a mitigation tool and communications platform to assist users in understanding the construction/rehabilitation work in progress. The modules will not only inform residents and visitors about the site and its impacts but may also serve as tools for interpretation of the history of the site, the eventual design, the key stages of construction, the various stakeholders, or any other relevant aspect to be communicated relative to the worksite or its location.
The winning project will be installed in Summer 2017 on three specific sites. The deadline for proposals is December 1, 2016.
