Canada’s Most Colorful Place Maker : Claude Cormier
« Tel un généticien urbain, Claude
Cormier, qui vient d’avoir 60 ans,
croise fréquemment l’ADN de la
ville avec celui de la nature. Il n’en
détourne pas le sens, il lui en
redonne simplement un autre,
mélangeant les gènes pour
réinventer et améliorer le paysage
urbain ».
