Le dossier documente la production d'un mémoire présenté au Comité consultatif du Vieux-Port de Montréal, à Montréal, Québec.

Description du projet par l'architecte: Pour la renaissance d'un espace naturel: UN NOUVEAU PORT "… nous croyons à la fois au projet porté par [l'architecte Marc] Drouin et au projet nommé par [l'architecte Jean-Claude] Marsan… Du premier, plutôt que le fleuve seul, retenons l'élément de reflexion de base: la nature comme modèle de l'espace… Du second, plutôt que la continuité portuaire seule, retenons l'élément de figuration de base : la culture comme l'espace idéal de 'projetation' du modèle."
