Meetings and Encounters

A theme for Quebec City’s 400th Anniversary Celebrations In order to begin to understand the diversity of Quebec City and its surroundings, we must consider its neighbor, the United States. We have to have to look more closely at the physical features and the economical events that Quebec shares with its border country and how those events have influenced both cultures. On a visit to Quebec City John Fitzgerald Kennedy expressed his view of the bordering countries:

Tyvek

“Geography has made us neighbors. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners. And necessity has made us allies. Those whom nature hath so joined together, let no man put asunder. What unites us is far greater than what divides us.” Land has provided both Quebec City and the United States with the means to live, trade, and prosper. To these simple means we are grateful and reliant on each other, recognizing differences and learning to live amid them.

Timber

Border

The Design recognizes the strong relationship through the landscape that Quebec and United States share. Conceived in four basic layers of the design is the bottom layer of hardscape that depicts a river where people assemble. By dropping the riverbed and changing the material we are creating a threshold for visitors to encounter and settle amongst the dense vertical elements that the second layer consists of. The vertical elements or square timbers are placed on an orthogonal grid representing a dense forested area, while organizing visual ideas concerning Quebec and the United States respectively. The visual ideas are printed on recycled tyvek, representing different characteristics of adjoining regions. While the fourth layer represents the border breaking the constant landscape, distinguishing one political unit from the other.
