This design project offers resilient solutions along each of Quebec City’ four rivers of Cap-Rouge, Saint-Charles, Beauport and Montmorency by considering natural and anthropogenically-altered hydrologic fluctuations (tides, sea level rise, flooding) that define the ecosystems, casting the rivers as mediators of these changing environmental conditions.
