Trahan Architects is proud to share its shortlisted design for the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts competition. The re-imagined STLC expresses the physical and metaphoric concept of weaving—connecting people and places in a shared meaning and vision of a world that celebrates all. Weaving has always played a significant role in cultures worldwide, including the diversity of Indigenous nations and people throughout Canada. The cultural practice of weaving is creatively expressed and represented in the physical manifestation of forms and patterns—from the facades of Haudenosaunee longhouses and Anishinaabe ash baskets. More profoundly, the process of weaving calls to the spiritual, cultural, and social practices of sharing stories—interlacing the knowledge of the skies, land, and waters from one generation to the next.
Trahan Architects is one of five teams shortlisted for the re-imagined STLC. Collaborators on the proposed design include Hood Design Studio, Brook McIlroy, ERA Architects Inc., Bruce Mau Design, Entuitive, Transsolar KlimaEngineering, Crossey Engineering Ltd., Threshold Acoustics, and Fisher Dachs Associates.
