Montreal-Trudeau International Airport P4 Parking Lot
Montreal, Canada
The P4 Parking project, designed in consortium with Jodoin Lamarre Pratte architectes, redefines expectations for parking lots by converging two seemingly divergent experiential conditions, transforming an unambitious typology into a cinematic and fluid construct. The concept is weighted on the movement, light, and dynamic qualities of moving vehicles within the architectural structure, using the parking facility as a device to enhance its internal mechanics.
The building frames the foreground of a larger scene with varying velocities: planes, cars, buses, bikes, and pedestrians. The movement of cars' headlights becomes a dynamic projector, acting as both light source and actor, casting shadows over a translucent scrim. All forms of traffic come together in a precisely choreographed architectural performance, defining the project as an extended threshold between the city and the world at large.
The imposing structure is wrapped in a semi-transparent aluminum envelope that becomes an animated screen for light shows created by passing traffic. Acting as a large projection canvas, the envelope achieves an epic dimension with a façade measuring 896 meters long and 18 meters wide, including a 372-meter section that projects southwards towards the adjacent highway. The choreographed passing traffic imprints itself on the surface of the building, which in turn illuminates and projects throughout the environment.
Part of a thirty-year master plan for the Montreal-Trudeau international airport, this project anticipates future transformation through its adaptable design. The configuration of pillars and blocks features a universal structural grid and a minimum 4-metre floor-to-floor height, allowing the structure to evolve alongside changing transportation needs while incorporating sustainable features like green roofs and solar paneling.
