Introduction by Liat Margolis.

NIPpaysage will take you on a guided tour of various projects located along Montreal’s rail system. Symbols of both large and small scale urban revitalization featured projects are linked together through an extensive green and industrial corridor that shape the city experience.

Since its inception in 2001 by 5 Université de Montréal graduates (Mathieu Casavant, France Cormier, Josée Labelle, Michel Langevin, Mélanie Mignault), NIPpaysage is a leader of a new wave of landscape architects. The team counts currently 14 collaborators.
 
The meaning behind the firm’s name refers to the inherent identity of all project sites. NIPpaysage’s design process is defined as a collective approach valued by multiple viewpoints. This openness leads to sound choices and creates meaningful environments. Eager to provide a renewed vision of the profession, NIP’s works combine a powerful conceptual basis, an approach sensitive to functionality and sustainability issues.
