Over the next three years, the Building Montréal, UNESCO City of Design project will be seeking to create opportunities for design creation in Montréal (in architecture, landscape architecture, interior design, graphic design, industrial design and urban design) and develop initiatives that give vital and tangible expression to Montréal's status as a UNESCO City of Design.
A $1.2-million investment over three years will be used to finance the holding of design and architecture competitions leading to the implementation of projects. In November 2009, a call for projects, aimed at identifying design and architecture competitions per the guidelines of the handbooks of best practices in design, will be sent to public and para-public institutions as well as to non-profit organizations.
Building Montréal seeks to establish a bank of professional consultants and get them involved in organizing the various types of competitions in the different design disciplines.
Please express your interest by submitting, no later than Friday, October 30, 2025:
- the registration form
- a letter of interest stating your fields of expertise (architecture, landscape architecture, interior design, graphic design, industrial design and/or urban design)
- a résumé - Specify whether you have prior experience as either a competition organizer or a competitor
Please send these documents to [email protected]
Selection of the projects that will be the subject of competitions as part of the Building Montréal project will take place in February 2010. Between now and then, the names of those interested in acting as professional consultants will be chosen based on experience and fields of expertise. The professional services of consultants will be subject to offers of service based on the projects to be implemented.
If you have any questions regarding this call for expressions of interest, please write to Caroline Dubuc, Commissioner, at the following address: [email protected].
