Project title: Metalline Falls
Demolition plan, cement plant, Lafarge Corporation
Washington State, USA

Date of construction: 1996
Project leader: Michel Fontaine, AAPQ, MediaLand Inc.
Project direction: M. Jean-Guy Levaque, Lafarge

Description: When the Metalline Falls cement plant became redundant its demolition required that certain installations be kept to make distribution centre, with the added objective of handing to the community recovered open space.

The concept created by Medialand aimed to create a public park that responded to the needs of the local community and that recognised the history of the place, both industrial and cultural.
