reflecting on this wall for some time on her blog<\/a> and has taken the comments on Spacing Montreal to heart in coming up with creative ways to bring some life to this space. Her blog reflects this creative process through a series of intriguing sketches and renderings alongside her musings about the site. She describes her process as two-fold:<\/p>\nL\u2019\u00e9tude du mur et son entourage\u00a0: j\u2019ai effectu\u00e9 dans ce sens des observations in situ<\/em> et une analyse de l\u2019espace sur diff\u00e9rentes dimensions\u00a0(historique, spatiale, visuelle, etc.). Le croisement des donn\u00e9es m\u2019a permis de bien comprendre le contexte du mur, son influence sur le lieu et ses besoins.<\/em><\/p>\nL\u2019\u00e9tude du public a pris une autre dimension\u00a0: l\u2019acc\u00e8s aux avis du public \u00e9tait une r\u00e9elle probl\u00e9matique. Cependant, gr\u00e2ce aux outils de communication par Internet, le blog sur le paysage urbain de Montr\u00e9al \u00ab\u00a0Spacing Montreal\u00a0\u00bb et le post critique sur le mur du Palais de Justice ont offert un medium de communication assez int\u00e9ressant.<\/em><\/p>\nI wanted to share Souha’s work with Spacing Montreal’s readers not only to give advance notice that Champ de Mars may look drastically diferent one day in the future (the Mayor, too, shares her concern with this wall), but also as evidence that the comments posted on the blog are being seriously considered by those who will play a role in (re)shaping our city. In some online communities, discussion forums seem like an escape from “real life”, but it is increasingly clear that the dialogue about public space on Spacing Montreal is, appropriately enough, a public one. May the discussion continue.<\/p>\n
