The new façade of the Grand Théâtre de Québec, designed by the Lemay and Atelier 21 studios

The Canadian-based Lemay and Atelier 21 architectural firms recently inaugurated the new façade of the Grand Théâtre de Québec, their winning project in the competition launched in 2015 by the Société du Grand Théâtre. In this particular case, the architects wanted to preserve and protect the original external structure, already an icon of brutalist architecture of the last century and home to a precious mural by Spanish-born Canadian painter Jordi Bonet. To achieve their goal, architects from the Lemay and Atelier 21 studios created a large glass and steel cladding, carefully designed to contain and protect the heritage of this important Canadian architecture without concealing it, while projecting it into the contemporary space thanks to the choice of materials. The project has won numerous national competitions as well as receiving an honourable mention at the International Design Awards.
