The competition revolves around the consolidation of Montreal’s historic axis, St.-Lawrence Boulevard, which divides the city into its East and West sections, and the focal point where this axis manifests itself as an architectural object: the bridge over the Ville-Marie Expressway, tying Old Montreal to the contemporary metropolis. On that particular site between Time and Space is where we propose to create The Place of Architecture.

The sites that comprise the Place may include the following:

- the abutment to the South of Saint-Antoine street which is an enlarge side walk in its actual state;
- the abutment to the North of Viger street, a vacant lot on the NE corner;
- the "deck", which may extend from Saint-Dominique street to Clark street, the two adjacent streets on either side of St.-Lawrence Boulevard. The buildings on the South-West part of the site, the Court House parking lot, and a linear garden along Viger are included in the skeem.
