#ParcJeanDrapeau
Shaping the Future of the Grandstands on Île Notre-Dame
Parc Jean-Drapeau is launching a design call for ideas to guide its reflection on the development of permanent grandstands on Île Notre-Dame.
This initiative aims to explore high-quality, sustainable, and multifunctional design visions, intended for year-round use and aligned with the Parc's commitments to ecological transition and climate change adaptation.
Why a Call for Ideas?
Parc Jean-Drapeau hosts major sporting, cultural, and community events each year. Some temporary infrastructures required for these events are repeatedly assembled and dismantled, generating significant impacts on the site.
The call for ideas aims to explore ways to evolve these infrastructures into permanent gathering spaces that are better integrated into the Parc, enhance user experience, support improved crowd management, and reduce the environmental footprint of operations.
- Envision grandstands of high architectural and landscape quality.
- Create gathering spaces that are accessible and usable year-round.
- Promote harmonious coexistence between the Parc's various uses.
- Reduce impacts associated with the transport, assembly, and dismantling of temporary structures.
- Support the Parc's commitments to ecological transition and climate resilience.
About the Competition
This call for ideas aims to support Parc Jean-Drapeau and its partners in their reflection, to guide the development and implementation phases.
Who Can Participate?
The competition is open to design teams, particularly in architecture, landscape architecture, and environmental design, and encourages multidisciplinary approaches integrating complementary expertise, such as engineering, universal accessibility, and eco-design.
