In order to improve water quality, the City of Montreal has built a new water intake along the Aqueduct Canal. The concept was clearly inspired by the nature of water, the metaphor infuses both the materials and the composition. From a utilitarian building dedicated to concealment, the architects have, through their formal choices, attempted an architecture in harmony with its environment which expresses in the public space values essential to the life of the communities. Sleek, bright and straightforward, the water and light building also offers a visual signature that enlivens the space.
