Prix national 2019 | Paysages publics à moyenne échelle conçus par un architecte paysagiste (1 à 5 ha)

Le Bentway

PUBLIC WORK office for urban design & landscape architecture

Le Bentway est en train de transformer un couloir de 1,75 km sous l’autoroute Gardiner de Toronto en un espace public dynamique. L’espace multifonctionnel est l’expression de l’énergie créatrice unique de Toronto et illustre bien comment la récupération et la réutilisation d’infrastructures unifonctionnelles peuvent apporter de nouvelles formes de vie publique.
