About the building:
I am not sure who was the architect for this garage (if anyone knows I would love to add the information here). I came across this building while wandering around Quebec City. The artwork on the building was created by the artist who also commissioned the artists' residence shown in the gallery. The building uses a Reglit type of horizontal cast glazing to allow light into the garage as well as shield the view of the cars. It also makes use of masonry turned on edge to form a light penetrating screen.
