The Springtime of Architecture - École d’art de Sutton

How can we provide more housing while staying true to a village's caracter?

For the seventh edition of Printemps de l'architecture, the Sutton school of Art proposes a citizen conversation on density in rural areas. Faced with the housing crisis and urban sprawl, this program invites the community to explore solutions adapted to villages like Sutton.

Nine architectural proposals, designed by L'Ensemble, a non-profit organization dedicated to architectural and urban innovation, will serve as a starting point for imagining, together, the future of our territories.

This conversation will take place over several weeks, and will feature a variety of activities to engage citizens in different ways.

*On the program: discussions with the architects during the exhibition tour, children's workshops, a café area, screenings and a public consultation (date to be announced) bringing the community together to collectively reflect on these crucial issues.

Stay tuned for a detailed calendar of activities!

Since 2017, the Sutton School of Art has been an essential part of the local cultural landscape, offering outstanding events every year. For the sixth year in a row, it offers a springtime immersion in architecture, presenting a dozen projects completed from 2018 to 2023 by children aged 6 to 14 from the Eastern Townships, as well as Quebec architects, in collaboration with the Maison de l'Architecture du Québec. This exhibition highlights architecture as a language, a social construction site and a reflection on living together better. In dialogue with past works, it illustrates the Sutton School of Art commitment to building its environment with the community, in line with its values.
