To Montreal With love...

1. How each of the aspects shown in the video are related to architecture?

There are many aspects related to the architecture, its says on the video that part of the history of Montreal it’s it architecture itself, old neo classical buildings mingle with moderns ones and every sector of the city has the unique characteristics, for example, the Chinese sector that was build by the Chinese in migrants its something unique and has its own architecture, different from everything else in the city. There’s also some modern buildings that are breath taking, the Olympic stadium it’s a huge leaning tower that impress every one who goes to the top of it and stares at the city from above.

2. Write your opinion about Montreal from the point of view of an URBAN PLANER.

Well, the video didn’t have too much information from the point of view of an urban planer, it had that in common with this course of ID3124 but I can’t blame anybody, it’s just that we are too few to be taken on consideration.

I have a good friend of mine living in Canada and he usually visits Montreal because he loves it, he says that the public transportation it’s awesome all over the city and because Montreal it’s an old city, the downtown area its astonishing, it the true heart of Montreal and every takes place there.

As my friend usually tell me and as I could see on the video, Montreal despite its an old city, its well distribute and has space for almost everything, it has green areas that serve as lungs to the city, on top of that, the city its constructed over a square grid (that helps to correctly find locations as we can find point using vectors in math) and its growing without problems because from its star the distribution of the city had the vision to go bigger with the time.
