ECHO : Tower and OSM Concert hall

Montréal, Québec
An attempt to create a dialogue between the OSM concert hall (Montreal Symphonic Orchestra) and a government tower.

At the other, the government tower's structural core is transformed into a light wall that symbolizes the activity of government workers. Culture echoes social activities. Between the buildings exists a courtyard for hosting Montreal festivals. This project received an award in an international competition. The site is now called Place des festivals.
