Ville d’Amqui
Winner
of the competition organized by the
Reford International Garden Festival
and in conjunction with the town of
Amqui, Quebec, the project's primary
aim was to transform a historic site
into a modern-day promenade to enhance
the town's renown and incorporate it
into the Gaspé tourism circuit.
An original road sign concept arouses
travellers' curiosity and leads them
right to the site. A reference back
to the days of old-fashioned chalk and
slate boards, the trees bordering the
trails were covered with white recalling
the old milk road and evoking former
markings identifying the lie of the
old Kempt road, the first to cross the
Valley. This dynamic site contains,
among other things, a series of landscaped
clearings stressing the rich history
of the town and the Valley.
