An Infrastructure of Fragments

At the center of the inner workings of a city lies its all-encompassing essence that characterizes the nature of the connection people harbor with it. Seeing that people are intrinsic to cities, we advance that the individual relationships people nurture with a city is what constitutes its meaning. In a time where urban growth is too often dissociated with what holds meaning in the urban context; we propose to focus upon that which holds a connection potential to the spirit of the Mile End and Rosemont Neighborhoods of Montreal. With an urban apparatus superimposed on the Van Horne overpass, we draw a journey meant to involve the dweller in the stories held within the area, with the intention of setting a direction in which to ground future developments.
