Festival | 2010 Edition
Métis-sur-Montréal | Broderie buchée
Métis-sur-Montréal
Broderie buchée will be presented on the Place de la Dauversière from May 27 to October 10. Broderie buchée is inspired by the French tradition of ornate parterres. But rather than using boxwood, the curvilinear forms will be made from spruce logs, salvaged from blowdowns in the gardens or the nearby Metis River Park and trimmed and sanded to sooth for their urban presentation. They will be viewed by thousands of visitors in Old Montréal and perhaps serve as temporary seating for tired travellers.
Architect: Philippe Nolet
