Winners of the Montréal Space for Life (Biodôme Migration) International Architecture Competition announced

From the Nov. 26, 2014, press release of the Bureau de Design, Ville de Montréal:

At the latest Executive Committee meeting, the Coderre administration recommended that City Council award a $3.2 million professional services contract to AZPML + KANVA + NEUF architect(e)s + Bouthillette Parizeau + NCK, the winning team in the Biodôme Migration component of the Montréal Space for Life architecture competition, so that they can start work quickly on this huge project that is intended to be an important legacy for Montréal's 375th anniversary.

“The Biodôme Migration is one of the key strategic projects that our administration is focusing on so that we can offer Montrealers and all the city’s visitors an innovative museum institution, one that stands as an example of biodiversity and environmental awareness. The project is a legacy that will last well beyond 2017, something of which we will all be very proud,” said Montréal Mayor Denis Coderre.

KANVA was co-founded by Rami Bebawi (B.Sc.Arch. 1999, M.Arch. 2001) and Tudor Radulescu (B.Sc.Arch. 1998, M.Arch. 2001).  NEUF architect(e)s includes partners Bruno St-Jean (B.Sc.Arch. 1976, B.Arch. 1977) and Azad Chichmanian (B.Sc.Arch. 1996, B.Arch. 1997).
