Ædifica was appointed by Concordia University to develop the design of the very first street showcase dedicated to promoting university research and experiential learning opportunities in Canada: 4th Space.
Located at the corner of Mackay Street and De Maisonneuve Boulevard West, in the heart of downtown Montreal, the new 1,500 sq. ft. space offers a wide range of university projects, events and workshops that can alternate when needed, using GRID’s modular furniture.
The furniture allows the versatility of the place because of its flexibility to customize the space according to the desires of the occupants. The result is a sharing of cutting-edge research in an interactive and engaging environment that differs significantly from a more traditional and static academic setting. The concept developed was conceived in order to allow the space to be in harmony with its surrounding environment, acting as a showcase for its academic activities to the general public.
