On the themes of the classroom, the gathering space and the relationship to the context, 3 videos from the CRC-ACME put into debate teams from the 5 competitions organized by LabÉcole for new elementary schools in Quebec. Produced by the Canada Research Chair in Architecture, Competitions and Mediations of Excellence, this set of 3 videos presents excerpts from 3 roundtables recorded in January and February 2021 with design teams of the projects submitted to the 5 competitions organized by Lab-École. These winning projects, finalists or submitted in the first phase of the competitions for the sites of Saguenay, Shefford, Maskinongé, Rimouski and Gatineau in 2020 were presented in the exhibition Devoirs d’architecture at the Centre de design de l’UQAM from September 2020 to February 2021. The pandemic did not allow the general public to discover these 160 projects for new elementary school in Quebec. These debates allow us to take the measure of the richness of the proposals.[vc_custom_heading text=”ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION ABOUT THE CLASSROOM” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:25|text_align:center|color:%234d4f52″ google_fonts=”font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:800%20bold%20regular%3A800%3Anormal”]The round table on the theme of The Classroom and Collaborative Spaces presents different physical and spatial devices imagined by Quebec architects to rethink spaces dedicated to teaching and learning.[mvc_advanced_button align=”center” btn_text=”ACCESS THE VIDEO” google_fonts=”font_family:Roboto%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:900%20bold%20regular%3A900%3Anormal” btn_url=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fvimeo.com%2Fshowcase%2F7619270%2Fvideo%2F524933444|||” btn_clr=”#ffffff” btn_bg=”rgba(114,114,128,0.77)” btn_hvrclr=”#ffffff” btn_hvrbg=”#727280″ btn_radius=”4″][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][info_list_father connector_h=”20″][info_list_son style=”icon” size=”15″ width=”40″ height=”40″ titlesize=”14″ titleclr=”#000000″ title=”Panelists” icon=”fa fa-users”]Étienne Bernier, Christian Bisson, Jean-Pierre Chupin, Andréanne Dumont, Jérôme Duval, Bechara Helal, Sergio Morales, Alexandra Paré, Hubert Pelletier, Nathaniel Proulx Joannisse[/info_list_son][info_list_son style=”icon” size=”15″ width=”40″ height=”40″ titlesize=”14″ titleclr=”#000000″ icon=”fa fa-user” title=”Special thanks to”]Bechara Helal[/info_list_son][info_list_son style=”icon” size=”15″ width=”40″ height=”40″ titlesize=”14″ titleclr=”#000000″ icon=”fa fa-calendar-check-o” title=”Organization” caption_url=””]Jean-Pierre Chupin et Alexandra Paré[/info_list_son][info_list_son style=”icon” size=”15″ width=”40″ height=”40″ titlesize=”14″ titleclr=”#000000″ icon=”fa fa-video-camera” title=”Video editing”]Julien Bouthillier[/info_list_son][info_list_son style=”icon” size=”15″ width=”40″ height=”40″ titlesize=”14″ titleclr=”#000000″ icon=”fa fa-users” title=”The organizers thank the three main partners of the exhibition”]Lab-École, Centre de design de l’UQAM, Laboratoire d’étude de l’architecture potentielle[/info_list_son][/info_list_father][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_custom_heading text=”ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION ABOUT THE GATHERING SPACE” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:25|text_align:center|color:%234d4f52″ google_fonts=”font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:800%20bold%20regular%3A800%3Anormal”]The round table on the theme of The Gathering Space presents a few variations and the dilemmas faced by the design teams become evident. Between spaces dedicated to very specific activities and “all-purpose spaces”, architects must harmonize proposals. The versatility of spatial devices has its qualities, but it can quickly demonstrate its limitations.[mvc_advanced_button align=”center” btn_text=”ACCESS THE VIDEO” google_fonts=”font_family:Roboto%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:900%20bold%20regular%3A900%3Anormal” btn_url=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fvimeo.com%2Fshowcase%2F7619270%2Fvideo%2F524950452|||” btn_clr=”#ffffff” btn_bg=”rgba(114,114,128,0.77)” btn_hvrclr=”#ffffff” btn_hvrbg=”#727280″ btn_radius=”4″][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][info_list_father connector_h=”20″][info_list_son style=”icon” size=”15″ width=”40″ height=”40″ titlesize=”14″ titleclr=”#000000″ title=”Panelists” icon=”fa fa-users”]Randy Cohen, Katarina Cernacek, Jean-Pierre Chupin, Virginie LaSalle, Marie-Hélène Nollet, Alexandra Paré, Charles Laurence Proulx, Geneviève Riopel[/info_list_son][info_list_son style=”icon” size=”15″ width=”40″ height=”40″ titlesize=”14″ titleclr=”#000000″ icon=”fa fa-user” title=”Special thanks to”]Virginie LaSalle[/info_list_son][info_list_son style=”icon” size=”15″ width=”40″ height=”40″ titlesize=”14″ titleclr=”#000000″ icon=”fa fa-calendar-check-o” title=”Organization” caption_url=””]Jean-Pierre Chupin et Alexandra Paré[/info_list_son][info_list_son style=”icon” size=”15″ width=”40″ height=”40″ titlesize=”14″ titleclr=”#000000″ icon=”fa fa-video-camera” title=”Video editing”]Julien Bouthillier[/info_list_son][info_list_son style=”icon” size=”15″ width=”40″ height=”40″ titlesize=”14″ titleclr=”#000000″ icon=”fa fa-users” title=”The organizers thank the three main partners of the exhibition”]Lab-École, Centre de design de l’UQAM, Laboratoire d’étude de l’architecture potentielle[/info_list_son][/info_list_father][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_custom_heading text=”ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION ABOUT THE SCHOOL AND ITS CONTEXT” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:25|text_align:center|color:%234d4f52″ google_fonts=”font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:800%20bold%20regular%3A800%3Anormal”]The roundtable on the theme of The School and its Context shows that a standard cannot satisfy the complexity and richness of a given site, and even more so that architectural programs need to be always adapted to their context.[mvc_advanced_button align=”center” btn_text=”ACCESS THE VIDEO” google_fonts=”font_family:Roboto%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:900%20bold%20regular%3A900%3Anormal” btn_url=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fvimeo.com%2Fshowcase%2F7619270%2Fvideo%2F524950452|||” btn_clr=”#ffffff” btn_bg=”rgba(114,114,128,0.77)” btn_hvrclr=”#ffffff” btn_hvrbg=”#727280″ btn_radius=”4″ caption_url=”” caption_urls=”” caption_urlss=””][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][info_list_father connector_h=”20″][info_list_son style=”icon” size=”15″ width=”40″ height=”40″ titlesize=”14″ titleclr=”#000000″ title=”Panelists” icon=”fa fa-users” caption_url=””]Philippe Ashby, Martin Brière, Jean-Pierre Chupin, Thomas-Bernard Kenniff, Guillaume Marcoux, Catherine Milanese, Lucie Paquet, Jessy Paquet-Methot, Alexandra Paré[/info_list_son][info_list_son style=”icon” size=”15″ width=”40″ height=”40″ titlesize=”14″ titleclr=”#000000″ icon=”fa fa-user” title=”Special thanks to” caption_url=””]Thomas-Bernard Kenniff[/info_list_son][info_list_son style=”icon” size=”15″ width=”40″ height=”40″ titlesize=”14″ titleclr=”#000000″ icon=”fa fa-calendar-check-o” title=”Organization” caption_url=””]Jean-Pierre Chupin et Alexandra Paré[/info_list_son][info_list_son style=”icon” size=”15″ width=”40″ height=”40″ titlesize=”14″ titleclr=”#000000″ icon=”fa fa-video-camera” title=”Video editing” caption_url=””]Julien Bouthillier[/info_list_son][info_list_son style=”icon” size=”15″ width=”40″ height=”40″ titlesize=”14″ titleclr=”#000000″ icon=”fa fa-users” title=”The organizers thank the three main partners of the exhibition” caption_url=””]Lab-École, Centre de design de l’UQAM, Laboratoire d’étude de l’architecture potentielle[/info_list_son][/info_list_father][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][mvc_advanced_button align=”center” btn_text=”ACCESS THE THREE VIDEOS” btn_block=”btn_block” google_fonts=”font_family:Roboto%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:900%20bold%20regular%3A900%3Anormal” btn_url=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fvimeo.com%2Fshowcase%2F7619270|||” btn_clr=”#ffffff” btn_bg=”rgba(114,114,128,0.77)” btn_hvrclr=”#ffffff” btn_hvrbg=”#727280″ btn_radius=”4″ caption_url=”” caption_urls=”” caption_urlss=””]
