Grand Th\u00e9\u00e2tre de Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s\u00a0new envelope garners high recognition for its beauty and sustainability<\/h3>\r\n

G<\/span>rand Th\u00e9\u00e2tre de Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s restoration project has just been awarded four prestigious awards of excellence. Two have been presented by the Ordre des architects du Qu\u00e9bec<\/a> - the jury\u2019s highest honors and the public\u2019s choice. SAB Magazine<\/a> has also recognized the project with the Green Building Award as well as the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada<\/a>, for its innovative prowess.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Prized for its brutalist architecture, the Grand Th\u00e9\u00e2tre de Qu\u00e9bec is a cultural icon. Lemay<\/a> and Atelier 21<\/a> were tasked with restoring and protecting the building\u2019s crumbling outer shell and its emblematic Bonet mural, inside.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The new envelope is a delicate response to a complex problem. In developing corrective measures for the building\u2019s many weaknesses, the transdisciplinary team produced a sustainable, innovative solution: adding a transparent, glass curtain wall to the concrete structure.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The glass casing was carefully designed in continuity with the structure developed by Victor Prus, the original architect, and the mural work of Jordi Bonet, enshrined by Prus\u2019 protective outer shell. Discrete and almost immaterial at times, it reflects its surroundings and becomes the main interface with the city, adding an additional theatrical act in the discovery of this significant Quebecois work.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

As designed, the thin wall of protective glass shields the Grand Th\u00e9\u00e2tre from the elements by creating a secondary, tempered envelope housing a low-flow heat recovery and thermal mass system. The system is both energy-efficient and economical. Beyond its primary function, the new layer acts as an extension of the original building it protects, using the same finely tuned structural logic and composition.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Any alteration to the architecture had to be severely limited, says Eric Pelletier, architect and design principal at Lemay. The building\u2019s fragility paired with the inability to directly access the concrete anchors posed a major challenge \u2013 with work on the building proceeding during normal daytime and evening theatre operations.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n

Similar to a play having been written 50 years ago, we had to revitalize le Grand Theatre using a new script that would resonate with a new generation, all while respecting and embracing Prus\u2019 original work.<\/p>\r\n
