Provencher Roy重新构想了圣凯瑟琳街，将蒙特利尔街道的一段以汽车为中心的老旧路段重建成了步行中心，以纪念它作为城市主要商业街区的历史。

Provencher_Roy’s ambitious reimagining of Sainte-Catherine St. West is complete, turning what was a run-down and car-centered stretch of the storied Montréal street into a pedestrian hub that celebrates its history as the city’s main commercial drag.

通过将一条四车道的道路改造成一条以行人为导向的道路，只有一条车道的汽车交通，重新设计创建了一条长廊，在De Bleury街和曼斯菲尔德街之间延伸了六个街区，汽车，骑自行车的人和行人共享道路。海滨长廊展示了沿途历史悠久的百货公司，并将该地区与周围环境融为一体。菲利普斯广场进行了扩建，为这座城市打造了一个新的绿色公共枢纽，这座城市的雄心是将Montréal转变为整个北美最环保、最绿色的城市中心。

By transforming a four-lane road into a pedestrian-oriented one with a single lane of car traffic, the redesign creates a promenade stretching six blocks between De Bleury and Mansfield Streets where cars, cyclists, and pedestrians share the road. The promenade showcases the historic department stores along the stretch and knits the area into the surroundings. Phillips Square is expanded, making a new, green public hub for the city whose ambition is to transform Montréal into the greenest city center in North America.

新的圣凯瑟琳圣西区与东面眼镜区的重建以及计划向西重建的街区协同工作，为城市创造一个充满凝聚力的绿色心脏。

The new Sainte-Catherine St. West works in tandem with the redevelopment of the Quartier des Spectacles to the east and the planned redevelopment of blocks further to the west to create a cohesive and greener heart for the city.

共享街道Shared Street

本次改造取消了路边停车，大幅拓宽了人行道，改变了汽车和行人的空间比例，将其变成一个适合人们使用的场所。新的共享街道创造出一座线性广场，将以前分散的广场、纪念碑和历史建筑网络连接起来，形成一个有凝聚力的城市景观。街道上的青铜板是城市的标志，标识着世纪之交的大型百货商店和商业建筑，为该地区增添了许多故事性的遗产。

The plan eliminates street parking and drastically widens the sidewalks, flipping the proportion of space allocated to cars and pedestrians to turn it into a place for people. The new shared street creates a linear plaza that links the previously disjointed network of squares, monuments, and historic buildings into a cohesive urban landscape. Bronze plates set in the street serve as urban markers, identifying the grand turn-of-the-century department stores and commercial buildings that lend this area its storied heritage.

新城市绿洲:菲利普斯广场New Urban Oasis: Phillips Square

根据1841年菲利普斯计划的设想，该设计还将菲利普斯广场作为市中心核心的一个组成部分。该空间是对英国花园广场的当代诠释，由于更宽阔的人行道、茂盛的植物和开放的视线，提供了建筑环境和周围景观如画的风景，空间得到了新扩展。这座爱德华七世的纪念碑在1941年由亨利·伯克斯捐赠后建成，展示了新的向上照明，周围是集成的城市家具和可编程的水景。“我们在市中心创造了一个浪漫的绿洲，我希望Montréalers能拥抱这个重新参观的花园，它的阴影区域和它的水景，同时享受它的历史建筑的景色，”Sonia Gagné称，她是Provencher_Roy的主要合伙人和建筑师。

The design also recenters Phillips Square as an integral part of the downtown core as envisioned in the 1841 Phillips Plan. A contemporary interpretation of the English Garden Square, the space is newly expanded thanks to wider sidewalks, lush plantings and open sightlines which offer picturesque views over the built environment and surrounding landscape. The monument to Edward VII erected in 1941 after a donation by Henry Birks is showcased with new up lighting, surrounded by integrated urban furniture and a programmable water feature. "We literally created a romantic oasis in the heart of downtown and I hope that Montréalers will embrace this revisited garden, the refreshment of its shaded areas and its water features, while enjoying the views of the historic buildings that frame it" says Sonia Gagné, principal partner and architect who led the design for Provencher_Roy.

绿化整座城市Greening the City

重建大大增加了该地区的绿化率，并改善了行人的体验，并创造了一个可持续性的城市领域。项目将绿植面积增加了46%，并种植了现有数量14倍的树木。Provencher_Roy设计了一项绿化战略，其中包括五种根据对城市污染的耐受性、耐寒性和恢复力选择的树木品种，在促进生物多样性的同时限制树木因疾病而损失。沿着圣凯瑟琳街宽阔而连续的种植池使树木能够充分生长。

The redesign drastically increases the greenery in this area, enhancing the pedestrian experience and making for a more sustainable urban realm. The project increases vegetation by 46% and plants 14 times the number of current trees. Provencher_Roy devised a greening strategy that includes five tree varieties chosen for their tolerance to urban pollution, their hardiness, and their resilience, promoting biodiversity while limiting the loss of trees to disease. Along Sainte-Catherine St., generous and continuous planting pits make it possible for trees to grow to their full potential.

▽绿化率大大增加

在菲利普斯广场，现有的树木被保留了下来，设计师沿着街道边缘增加了一些新的树木，帮助勾勒出街道的轮廓。向维多利亚时代的花园致敬，繁茂的花坛与粗糙的植物并置，用紫色、蓝色、粉色和白色的柔和色调。这座广场成为了城市中的绿洲，其粗犷的自然主义美学与英式花园设计相呼应。

At Phillips Square, the existing trees are preserved, and new ones added along the edges help frame the street. To evoke Victorian gardens, lush flowerbeds are juxtaposed against rougher plantings with soft hues in violet, blue, pink and white. The square becomes an oasis of greenery in the city defined by its rough-hewn, naturalistic aesthetic that echoes English garden design.
