Our vision for the redevelopment of Block 2 within Ottawa’s Parliamentary Precinct draws on the strengths of old and new. It acknowledges Canada’s charged history, as expressed in its heritage buildings, and forges a new architectural language that seeks not to erase the past, but to reconcile it with new technology and Indigenous practice; moving forward sustainably and with fresh purpose. Our proposal weaves together past, present and future to create a tapestry of forms and styles that celebrates a diverse nation and suggests a sustainable and inclusive future for Canadian democracy.
