Québec City, Quebec, Canada

This call for applications in the form of a competition concerns the enhancement of the residual spaces of the Dufferin-Montmorency highway on the approach to the Upper Town of Quebec City. It is essentially a matter of proposing a permanent installation intended to ennoble the current infrastructure, to enrich the experience of road users who travel on it and to compose a new landscape in the suspended space defined by the highway above the ground. The project is a logical continuation of other projects to redevelop access to Quebec's national capital.

The intervention zone covers a total area of just over 3,600 m2, divided into four distinct sectors located on the elevated infrastructure and therefore inaccessible to pedestrians and cyclists.

The budget for the work is strictly limited to $725,000, excluding professional fees and costs related to the organization and signage of the work site.

The call for tenders is presented in the form of a multidisciplinary, open competition held in two stages throughout Quebec, with the objective of carrying out the project proposed by the winning team.
