Canadian Museum of Human Rights

Winter 2004 - U3 - McGill University - Prof. A. Shepard and D. Theodore - in team wth H. Brown

This proposal was realized following the main guidelines for the competition for the Canadian Museum for Human Rights held in 2004. The large site, nearby the Winnipeg’s Forks Park, is surrounded by the museum facilities in order to create an enclosed realm dedicated to reflection and reconciliation. The building itself is formed of square modules. In the administrative wing they are arranged in a Cartesian way while in the exhibition

 
wing they are randomly placed. This expresses the two main perceptions of human rights: the objective and theoretical one as opposed to the personal and more impressionistic one. Without being symmetrical those two elements counter-balance each other.
