La Maison de l'Architecture du Québec (MAQ) is an art center that works for the dissemination of a culture of architecture in the city of Montréal, located in the province of Quebec. Through exhibitions, laboratories, workshops, debates, and other initiatives, MAQ opens borders between various arts, such as design, sculpture, literature, and the performing arts.
In May 2021, MAQ celebrates its 20 years of existence. For the occasion, the center invites the public to discover three important exhibitions on the theme "Visions of architects". The exhibition can be visited in the spaces of the LIVART - Art Center in Montreal and will be available from May 6 to 30.

The Maison de l'Architecture du Québec (MAQ) worked to bring to light all the creativity that permeates architecture. Architects like Benoît Dupuis, Howard Davies, or even younger ones like Olivier Blouin and Marie-Josée Dupont develop other artistic disciplines, through which their views are educated and sharpened.
Starting from this concept, MAQ has developed three exhibitions: “Mémoire d'un dessin”, with the visual work of the architect Benoît Dupuis, “Snapshot City”, an exhibition with photographs by Howard Davies and “Parasites architecturaux”, a fierce report photographic by Olivier Blouin with installation by the architects Dupont Blouin.
The exhibition “Visions of architects” will also have an additional event: the first drafts of the graphic novel signed by Tangui Robert, architect from Nantes, and François Turcot, a poet from Quebec.
