Saint-Laurent Sports Complex
The Saint-Laurent Sports Complex is located between the existing Émile Legault School and Raymond Bourque Arena, both of which are horizontal in form and neutral in character. As a result, for this project, it became vital to create a strong visual and physical link between the Marcel-Laurin Park to the north and the projected green band that will run along Thimens Boulevard. The sculptural nature of the project creates a strong link between these two natural elements in the urban fabric.
Two angular objects?one prismatic, white and diaphanous, the other darker and stretched horizontally?embrace the specific programmatic functions of the project and simultaneously transcend them; they invite users and passersby from the boulevard while serving as a signal for the passage toward the park beyond. The two volumes appear to be shifting, activated by the kinetic energy emanating from the heart of the project, thereby evoking the dynamic nature of the activities taking place within, such as sports, athletics, and training. The volumetric approach is inspired by the tectonic forces that bend the surface layer of the site?s landscape. A colourful sculptural staircase, visually connected to the volumes of the palestra, sinuously engages the structural elements of the building. The superimposition of the palestra and gymnasium above the pool area allows them to be connected directly to the multifunctional room and public hall, which are both essential to the intensive and varied use...
