During the summer 2017, four of our cadwork clients have participated to an innovative project in Montréal, called Mont Réel. Cadwork provided the virtual environment using photogrammetry. Photos have been taken by a drone and the 3D model from Structure Fusion was merged to the virtual environment.

  • Nordic and Art Massif have provided wood
  • Structure Fusion was in charge of the engineering
  • Charpente Montmorency provided the cutting on a Hundegger K2

« Last summer, in July, a collectively-built mountain, Mont Réel, has emerged in Montréal, providing a gathering place for the surrounding communities and an in-situ laboratory to experiment with urban (bio)diversity. Initiated by the Goethe-Institut Montreal in partnership with the Consulate général de France à Québec and the Université de Montréal, this French-German collaboration brings together architects, designers, cultural mediators and artists from Germany, France and Québec.

Mont-Reel-1

Located on the future science campus of l’UdeM, the Campus MIL, Mont Réel is an urban installation inspired by Mount Royal Park, an early colonial symbol that with time became a natural landmark where people gather, play, do sports and enjoy nature. A place where we find the profane terrestrial and democratic practices of a real mountain.

Between June 26 and July 15, 2017, the group of architects, designers, cultural mediators and multidisciplinary artists have work together with 20 international participants and local communities in a collaborative workshop »
