LEAP and CRC-ACME Seminar @UdeM (2023/08/29): What is the use of the model in architecture?
Date: August 29th, 2023, 8:30am. to 5:30pm.
Location: Room 1150, Faculté de l’aménagement de l’Université de Montréal.
Organization: Denis Bilodeau and Virginie LaSalle
The LEAP study day, which poses the question What is the use of the model in architecture? is intended as an initial exploration of the theme and its potential from multiple perspectives. Speakers are invited to present their reflections and research in the form of short talks (15 minutes) on specific situations or cases involving the use of models in different contexts – professional, artistic, educational or other. The aim of this study day is to open up a multidisciplinary field of investigation into a common practice whose cognitive, cultural and communicative dimensions have yet to be elucidated. Three round-table discussions, each lasting 1.5 hours, will address the day’s title question through a series of intersecting general themes.

3 seminars on new elementary schools in Quebec
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.
1 – 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.
– Panelists : Étienne Bernier, Christian Bisson, Jean-Pierre Chupin, Andréanne Dumont, Jérôme Duval, Bechara Helal, Sergio Morales, Alexandra Paré, Hubert Pelletier, Nathaniel Proulx Joannisse
– Special thanks to Bechara Helal
– Organization: Jean-Pierre Chupin and Alexandra Paré
– Video editing : Julien Bouthillier
– 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

2 – 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.
– Panelists: Randy Cohen, Katarina Cernacek, Jean-Pierre Chupin, Virginie LaSalle, Marie-Hélène Nollet, Alexandra Paré, Charles Laurence Proulx, Geneviève Riopel
– Special thanks to Virginie LaSalle
– Organization: Jean-Pierre Chupin and Alexandra Paré

– 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

3 – 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.
– Panelists: Philippe Ashby, Martin Brière, Jean-Pierre Chupin, Thomas-Bernard Kenniff, Guillaume Marcoux, Catherine Milanese, Lucie Paquet, Jessy Paquet-Methot, Alexandra Paré
– Organization: Jean-Pierre Chupin and Alexandra Paré

Seminar around the launch of the book “Canadian Modern Architecture” (2020/02/15) at Canadian Centre for Architecture
On February 15, 2020, Jean-Pierre Chupin and David Theodore participated in a discussion about the book “Canadian Modern Architecture” on the occasion of its launch at the Shaughnessy House of the Canadian Centre for Architecture (at 3:00 pm). This reference book is edited by Elsa Lam and Graham Livesey, with a preface by Kenneth Frampton. It examines how the practice of architecture has changed in Canada and how Canadian architects have interpreted international, regional and Aboriginal architectural trends, with a focus on Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. The conversation focused on Canadian competition and commissioning cultures in an international context.
