Esquisse — A Tribute to Claude Provencher

Located at the Technopôle Angus, Esquisse is a unique artistic experience composed of musical pavers that come to life through the movements of passersby. The notes generated by pedestrians’ improvised choreography create jazz melodies — a passion of Claude Provencher’s. Three musical scenes unfold throughout the day, inviting visitors to discover the full richness of this innovative urban installation.

As co-founder of the architectural firm Provencher_​Roy, Claude Provencher was a visionary who played a major role in shaping the Technopôle Angus. That is why the Groupe Angus, in collaboration with Provencher_​Roy and Daily tous les jours, wanted to pay tribute to him through a work of art accessible to all and inspired by his vision. The idea for Esquisse emerged after reviewing sketches Claude Provencher had created, one of which depicted an agora-style sculpture intended for the Technopôle. The inspiration behind this project was clear: to create an artistic experience that comes to life through collective interaction and evolves in step with passersby.
