Créé en 1988 et composé d’une dizaine d’architectes, l’Atelier Pierre Thibault place en dialogue constant le territoire québécois, ses paysages, ses saisons et son architecture vernaculaire de manière à créer des projets intimement ancrés dans le milieu naturel et culturel. Fortement influencé par les lieux qui l’entourent, l’Atelier a su se démarquer sur les scènes nationale et internationale grâce à son approche sensible, empirique et intuitive. Cet univers intriqué et poétique de lieux, d’images et de typologies qui l’habitent se matérialise dans le cadre de l’exposition, proposant aux visiteurs une immersion littérale et figurative dans l’imaginaire architectural québécois et des territoires qui le compose. Scénarisée en un archipel composé de plusieurs ilots-territoires, l’exposition utilise le corpus distinctif de Thibault et son équipe pour interroger les différents rapports entre un projet d’architecture, son site d’implantation, son contexte culturel et naturel. En résulte une constellation architecturale distillant l’essence du travail de l’Atelier, brillant à la fois par sa constance et sa capacité de renouvellement, et ce depuis une trentaine d’années. Articulée autour des médiums de prédilection de l’agence - maquettes et croquis - l’exposition s’ancre dans une volonté de construire des ponts entre différentes approches architecturales et paysagères et de stimuler des échanges durables et lumineux entre cette profession, les territoires qu’elle construit et le grand public.

"Datament", a monumental installation to be presented at the Polish Pavilion for the 18th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, will allow visitors to experience data in its ‘physical’ form. The space of the pavilion will be filled with the frames of four life-size houses. These seemingly chaotic and absurd structures faithfully reproduce the source data. The exhibition is intended as a starting point for a discussion about how, while new technologies may not offer us ready-made solutions, they can help us ask better questions.
New construction as an exception? “Waste” as a new building material? Affordable housing vs. climate protection? How do we design a building’s whole lifecycle? How do we calculate grey energy honestly? What is zero-carbon concrete? Which insights are new, and how can we tap past knowledge to develop solutions for the future? How do we shape this complex change process together? “Second City. On the New in the Old” is the theme of Architecture Matters 2023, where we will explore this topic at different levels: materials, buildings, society.

In March 2021, the Biden Administration released the American Jobs Plan, earmarking $213B for “quality” and “affordable” housing, yet the bill lacks specificity on how houses are to be built. Here housing’s problem is split into two: a social one of accessibility and equity, and a material one of wood, metal, and rocks. Architects can play a unique role in bridging abstract policy ambitions to real construction as these connections are made every day in practice.
