Luc Durand fonds
AP121
Synopsis:
Le fonds documente la formation de l'architecte au Canada et à l'étranger ainsi que toutes les étapes de la carrière de Luc Durand tant en Suisse, en Inde qu'au Canada. Il révèle incidemment l'activité peu connue d'un jeune architecte canadien installé en Inde au début des années soixante. Les archives documentent également les projets d'importance auxquels il fut associé à son retour au Canada, notamment avec Papineau Gérin-Lajoie LeBlanc (Concours du Pavillon du Québec, Résidence des filles, à l'Université de Montréal) et avec Roger D'Astous (Village Olympique, Institut Canadien de recherche en génie forestier).
