The Carrires incinerator becomes a waste treatment training center, accompanied by a heating network and an urban park on its roof. The Dickson incinerator is a snow dump feeding a cooling network. The Francon quarry is converted into an urban park, reads Hritage Montrals website.Second Jury Prize Artfacts des Possiblestienne Genest and Christopher MaloufSecond Jury Prize Artfacts des Possibles by tienne Genest and Christopher MaloufArtfacts des Possibles proposes a light intervention based on the current state of urban ruin in which the Carrires incinerator finds itself.
