International Architectural Competition for the New Montreal Holocaust Museum

Register/Submit Deadline:  Friday, Jan 28, 20222 PMEDT

The Montreal Holocaust Museum (MHM) announces the launch of an international architectural competition for the design of its new building on Saint-Laurent Boulevard in Montreal. The Museum invites architects to submit their candidatures until January 28, 2022 to a competition that calls them to creatively address the importance of Holocaust remembrance sites and the education of future generations about the dangers of hatred, antisemitism, and racism.

Founded in 1979 by Holocaust survivors and young leaders of the Jewish community, the Montreal Holocaust Museum is recognized for its exceptional collections of artifacts and recorded survivor testimonies, the excellence of its educational programs and exhibitions, and its innovative outreach. The mission of the Montreal Holocaust Museum is to educate people of all ages and backgrounds about the Holocaust while sensitizing the public to the universal perils of antisemitism, racism, hate, and indifference as well as the importance of respect for diversity and the sanctity of human life.

The Museum aims to achieve the highest level of architectural excellence, to make a lasting impression on the landscape of Saint-Laurent Boulevard, to connect with new audiences, and to create a significant impact on present and future generations. 

The new MHM will open its doors in 2025, allowing a new generation of visitors from around the world to discover the history of the Holocaust, the resilient stories of survivors who rebuilt their lives in Montreal, and the importance of respecting human rights. The Museum will be a space to cultivate historical awareness and encourage citizen action to contribute to a more just and socially responsible world. The public campaign for the new Museum will be launched in the winter of 2022 to raise funds and awareness for this important cause.

Competition

The architectural competition will take place in two principal stages and is intended to create a dialogue between the teams and the Museum. 

STAGE 1

Stage 1.1 aims to qualify teams that can successfully undertake the project through a qualification dossier presenting the composition of the team and relevant completed projects. 

Stage 1.2 is designed to encourage ideas, interpretations, and approaches for the new Museum. Based on the concepts and spatial strategies submitted anonymously, four proposals will be selected as finalists by the jury.

STAGE 2

Stage 2.1 will see the introduction of the structural and electromechanical engineers as well as landscape architects who will join the finalists to form a multidisciplinary team for the next stage.

Stage 2.2 is paid and will allow the four finalist teams to further develop the concepts presented in stage 1.2. Guided by the jury’s comments, they will create architectural solutions and develop the project in an interdisciplinary manner.

Jury

The jury is composed of MHM representatives as well as experts in Holocaust history, museums, architecture, and landscape architecture.
