For more than twenty-five years, Alain Carle has relied on a pedagogical approach that he developed as a teacher and researcher in the Master's program at the School of Architecture of the University of Montreal. In 2023, from a perspective of continuity and consolidation of the achievements of the last decades, Carle joined forces with five key collaborators to become Atelier Carle, thus underlining a new inclusive and forward-looking project.
Formed by creative and daring minds, the firm's team presents projects where the specificity of place, the precise work of materiality, and diversified construction techniques are an integral part of the creative process.
Founder Alain Carle presents lectures that highlight the firm's creative approach, but also his own sensitivity to the theoretical approach to projects. One of them, "La part du paysage", states the essential component of the landscape not as a vector of identity, but rather as an opening on its specificity, its exemplarity, and its capacity for modification.
