The 152 long and short containers are stacked four-high and attached at the corners with twist-lock connectors to form a chequerboard of solid and void. The completed building looks at home in its context of nineteenth-century commercial and industrial architecture, though its chequerboard elevations break with the more formal geometry of the latter, more rigidly defined by structural bays. The primary entrance faces Place Jean-Paul Riopelle and is marked by a marquis of white glass set in a chequerboard facade of glass laminated with brightly coloured film. |
