			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I often read about aesthetics because I think my work is a lot related to that (it&#8217;s not about pretending that I create beautiful art&#8230;.;). But looking around wikipedia, I found a link from aesthetic to beautification. I found the word really interesting, and thought it was related to art&#8230; but it&#8217;s more about architecture and urbanism, which is very good to know :</p>
<p>
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beautification">Beautification</a> is the process of making visual improvements in a town or city, typically to an urban area. This most often involves planting trees, shrubbery, and other greenery, but frequently also includes adding decorative or historic-style street lights and other lighting, and replacing broken pavement, often with brick or other natural materials.</p>

<p>Il n&#8217;est pas un secret que les créatifs trouvent leur inspiration dans tout ce qui les entourent. J&#8217;ai vu dernièrement le documentaire relatant la vie et le processus de création de <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Gehry">Frank Gehry</a> : <a href="http://www.sonyclassics.com/sketchesoffrankgehry/">Sketches of Frank Gehry</a>. Il y montre une vieille peinture religieuse qui l&#8217;a inspirée dans une forme qu&#8217;il a créé pour une bâtisse. Personnellement, en montrant les 2 un à côté de l&#8217;autre, il est un peu difficile d&#8217;en faire le lien. Mais il existe.</p>
<p>Et bien aujourd&#8217;hui, en naviguant sur le Web, je suis tombée un peu par hasard sur le site de <a href="http://www.rothelowman.com.au/Flash/#/default.html">Rothe Lowman</a>, une compagnie d&#8217;architecture de Melbourne. Une des pièces de leur portfolio, 543 Bridge. Ceci m&#8217;a inspirée le design d&#8217;un site Web sur lequel je travaille. Je sais pas si c&#8217;est aussi facile faire le lien entre cette pièce et ce que j&#8217;en ai retiré, mais je sais que les lignes de cette batisse m&#8217;ont inspirée.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, there is some design initiative in Montréal, one of them is the new Places d&#8217;Armes.</p>
<p>Found in <a href="http://ville.montreal.qc.ca/portal/page?_pageid=4256,5402028&#038;_dad=portal&#038;_schema=PORTAL">Design Montréal&#8217;s web site</a> :</p>
<p style="padding-left: 0px; margin-left: 0px">&#8220;In fall 2007, the city will hold a urban design workshop titled “Imagining Place d’Armes” to prepare for the redevelopment of Place d’Armes, one of the projects in Montréal’s three-year capital works program.</p>
<p>The goal of the workshop is to renew the way we see this highly symbolic part of Montréal, enrich its proposed development, strive for greater recognition of Montréal as a UNESCO City of Design and enhance the city’s reputation.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>J&#8217;ai décidé d&#8217;offrir quelques coup de coeur en architecture et design d&#8217;intérieur à Montréal question de faire un post un peu plus positif. Comme quoi oser un peu ça vaut la peine et ça donne des résultats qui embellit notre ville.</p>
<p>Je ne passerai pas à côté de la Grande Bibliothèque qui offre une lumière éblouissante dans toute la bâtisse.</p>
<p>Je signalerai aussi l&#8217;<a href="http://www.starwoodhotels.com/whotels/property/photos/index.html?propertyID=1471">hotel W</a> pour sa lumière artificielle cette fois-ci, la constance du bleu dans toute la décoration intérieur.</p>
<p><img id="image415" alt="W Hotel Montreal" src="http://www.nouknouk.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/whotel_entrance.jpg" /></p>
<p>Un incontournable : le foyer de l&#8217;<a href="http://www.hotelstpaul.com/en/">Hotel St-Paul</a>. Il faut absolument le voir en vrai.<br />
C&#8217;est une pièce de toute beauté.<br />
<img width="478" height="311" id="image416" alt="Foyer Hotel St-Paul Montreal" src="http://www.nouknouk.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/foyer_hotel-stpaul.jpg" /><br />
Le Palais des Congrès pour avoir oser mettre de la couleur dans une ville qui peut être très grise pendant presque 6 mois par année!</p>
<p><img width="477" height="335" id="image417" alt="Palais des Congrès de Montréal" src="http://www.nouknouk.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/palais-des-congres-mtl.png" /></p>
<p>C&#8217;est un bon début.</p>
<p>Je note que la lumière est un critère qui me plaît particulièrement puisque c&#8217;est un attrait commun à toutes mes propositions ci-haut&#8230;</p>
