On Monday, April 9, Montreal’s Museum of Contemporary Art (MAC) unveiled the winning project of the architectural competition that it announced in June of 2017.
The winning project and design of the new museum was the proposal of Saucier+Perrotte Architects and GLCRM & Associates Architects, who captured top honours in the competition.
The new proposal, which was selected unanimously by the jury, was described by MAC as a design “that is fully coherent with the Museum’s raison d’être.”
