Montreal has all the immediate traits of a North American city while conserving many traces of the past. Its classic urban form and architecture remain a testiment to the early European presence on the continent.
Projects and works by the Urban Architecture Department of the University of Quebec in Montreal focus on the specific nature of the city’s urban culture.
The Architecture Department was set up in the particular context of a "French cultured" university located in a North American metropolis. The exhibition groups projects by 24 young Canadian architects, illustrating the quality and vitality of the school.
