Vieux passage park
Location: Quebec City, Quebec
A contaminated vacant piece of land was developed into a park. The design included commemorating former fortifications found at the site. The work included building prefab concrete fortifications, a diagonal sidewalk built with mega pavers, paved and concrete pedestrian and cycling trails, concrete walls, a "river" and water crossing, planted islands, grassy mounds, and three types of lighting installations including granite fixtures.
