Winning Projects in the 2022 Prix d’excellence en architecture Unveiled
Ordre des architectes du Québec
The Ordre des architectes du Québec (OAQ) has unveiled the winners of its awards of excellence and distinctions for 2022. Fourteen projects were recognized at a ceremony this evening at Théâtre St-James in Montréal, attended by members of the architecture community and partner representatives.
The 2022 Grand Prix d’excellence was awarded to the Daoust Lestage Lizotte Stecker for the firm's 'Expérience chute', a redesigned pavilion and walkway at the foot of Montmorency Falls near Québec City. New facilities were needed to highlight the natural beauty of this emblematic site and to create a renewed experience for some 800,000 annual visitors. Jury members hailed the project’s bold, unadorned, and judicious architectural statement, which perfectly frames a distinctive natural treasure. They also called Expérience chute a compelling demonstration of how architects can successfully work on the margins of conventional practice, incorporating the disciplines of planning, design, and landscape architecture. Meanwhile, the Prix du public (People’s Choice award) was awarded to the final phase of the CHUM hospital complex project, comprising the Amphithéâtre Pierre-Péladeau, which also won the award in the Public Institutional Building category.
