Appreciation towards Lemay for providing the following description:

Bibliothèque du Boisé图书馆一举赢得2015年OAQ大奖，并获得来自评审委员会的高度评价：这是一个从室内室外都成功的项目。简约的手法下，每个空间和尺度无论从整体，还是具体到某个材料细节，家具，统统都是美丽的。精益求精，尊重环境，体感优雅。

The Bibliothèque du Boisé, designed by the consortium Eric Pelletier, Cardinal Hardy – two firms that joined Lemay in 2013 and 2014 respectively – and Labonté Marcil architects, has won the Grand Prix of Excellence of the Ordre des architectes du Québec (OAQ) 2015.

Rewarding the Bibliothèque du Boisé appeared to be obvious for all members of the jury: “This is a very successful project that includes indoor and outdoor public spaces. Far for being a simple assemblage, every space and every square meter is beautiful, from volume to perspectives, from ceiling details to materials and furniture. Tremendous work has been performed to translate this excellence inside out. The building is uniquely built into the site it takes to grips with the landscape. His sculptural silhouette is elegant, thanks to its wave wood. ”

这个面积达到5000平米，获得LEED白金认证的图书馆位于Thimens路和马塞尔-劳林公园之间，地理位置决定了它不仅是一座联系城市的建筑，也是一座联系景观的建筑。靠近公园的使得图书馆可以支持人们从多个角度发现与到达。为此图书馆以亲切的体量而不是以建筑庄严的姿态面世，迎接和聚集人们。以自然与城市为背景，这座与风景和谐共处的图书馆以开放丰富动态的姿态融入人类社会。

The Bibliothèque du Boisé aims to become a place fostering a feeling of belonging, promoting exploration and discovery. Located between Thimens Boulevard and the Marcel-Laurin Park, it covers a surface area of 5,000 m² and is integrated into the site by drawing on its major elements. This isn’t a project about architecture alone: it’s also about landscape. As such, this certified LEED Platinum building connects the city with the surrounding landscape, and serves as a point of connection that allows users to explore its site—inside and outside, from Boulevard Thimens as well as from the park. Visitors will discover the building by approaching it from a variety of spaces both intimate and dramatic, spaces that, by offering a variety of access pathways, set the stage for the site as well as for its users.

In this project, architecture is landscape and landscape is architecture. The architecture changes shape, unfolds, spreads out and rises up, reducing the boundaries between the built space and the site. There are several means of access to the building – all of which encourage interaction and discovery. Therefore, the library is not an architectural gesture, but rather an act of communication and exchange. It gives to the collectivity the opportunity to get together and know each other.

Far from a monumental approach, the library is integrated into a natural and urban context, it adds richness to the site, helps to define the space and offers a simple and universal reading. True reflection of the human condition, of the fate of a changing landscape, of its architecture, the Bibliothèque du Boisé created a significant identity hub as well as a rich, dynamic and open space where boundaries are redefined to foster discovery, learning, and a sense of belonging for the entire community.
