Form Follows Material

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.
