The architecture of the new Saint-J茅r么me Performance Hall re-evaluates the experience of theatre-going within the context of a city in the midst of reinventing itself as an important eco-recreational and cultural center north of Montreal. To this end, the proposed spatial concept turns the traditional experience of the theater inside out. A large wood canopy extends over the site, blurring the limits, and creating a sensory landscape encompassing many activities and scales. Acting as a socio-cultural catalyst and economic driver for the region, its architecture broadcasts the growing cultural landscape of Saint-J茅r么me and its local forestry industry.

鈥淭his rugged concert hall works to activate the downtown of 厂补颈苍迟-闯茅谤么尘别, Qu茅bec. Sectionally interesting, the complex exterior shows an industrial grittiness that attempts to grab hold symbolically and physically of its surroundings. A massive black spruce soffit protects the public in the forecourt, leading them inside to a lobby covered by the same canopy. The interior boasts a graceful concert hall clad skillfully in wood following an undulating pattern.鈥�
