Architecture & Poetry in Quebec: S.O.S Paysages Autoroutiers

I had the enormous pleasure of of collaborating with PLANT Architects on an exhibition for Maison De L'Architecture du Quebec. In conversation with partner Lisa Rapoport, we riffed on the experiences driving Highway 10 focusing on the Montregie mountain range that most of us rarely notice as we pass. The piece, to which I was a happy accomplice, is called "Blink and You Miss It!" I wrote a poem in response to our conversations, phrases of which are used their imaginings. Six expert teams of landscape architects helped by their accomplices artists go to the rescue of motorways im Quebec. To each his 100 km to protect, beautify, to save or to reveal!
