After the PHI Foundation and PHI Centre, PHI Contemporain is the third piece of a new type of cultural facility in Montreal. This additional 5,000 square meters cannot be summed up as yet another “temple museum” but rather as an open and dynamic place, designed above all for the public. Its vocation is not only to welcome and showcase contemporary creation, but to stimulate it, and even to produce it in situ. For this, the design regulates the interface with the city by an understated facades and all access to the clear horizontal planes of the floors, “mega-floors”, modular and appropriate platforms. These planes are not undifferentiated. Each level is specified according to climatic and programmatic constraints.
