Description


MY VIDEO OLYMPIC STADIUM SLIDESHOW THE MONTREAL TOWER... The Montréal Tower Observatory is located in the highest inclined tower in the world, with its 175-metre elevation and 45-degree angle. The Tower of Pisa, by comparison, has a 5-degree angle. The Observatory is at the top of a building that, in and of itself, totals 14,606 square metres and weighs 16,363 metric tons-comparable to 3 aircraft carriers. The view of Montréal is as unique as it is exceptional. On a clear day, visitors can see up to 80 kilometres all around, including the Laurentian Mountains. It is not surprising that the Montréal Tower is a member of the World Federation of Great Towers, next to, among others, the CN Tower in Toronto, the Empire State Building in New York and the Menara Tower in Kuala Lumpur. The top 3 floors of the Tower house the Observatory, as well as two reception halls - the Salon Montréal and the cocktail room - that can be rented. You access the Observatory by a funicular that is one of a kind. The Observatory, where visitors enjoy a splendid view of Montréal and its surroundings, is exceptionally luminous thanks to its many windows and three broad skylights. To magnify this bright space, a stunning mural in sandblasted glass was installed in the funicular boarding area. The sculpture, entitled “Vol de rêve,” was created by Montréal artist Michèle Lapointe, in collaboration with sculptor René Rioux. Ms. Lapointe took up her art in 1986 and has been teaching sandblasting and various assembling techniques at Espace VERRE since 1990. Part of her teachings focus on integrating art into architecture. Michèle Lapointe has created pieces that are part of numerous collections, including those held by Gaz Métropolitain, the Musée du Québec and the Ville de Montréal. “Vol de rêve” is one of the artist’s masterpieces. Measuring 2.4 m X 4.7 m, this magnificent work has graced the Observatory since 1987. Thanks Magik

Tour de Montréal... L’Observatoire de la Tour de Montréal prend place à l’intérieur de la plus haute tour inclinée au monde avec ses 175 mètres et son angle de 45 degrés. En comparaison, la Tour de Pise a un angle de 5 degrés. L’Observatoire se trouve au sommet d’un édifice totalisant à lui seul 14 606 mètres carrés et une masse de 166 363 tonnes métriques comparables à trois porte-avions. La vue sur Montréal y est aussi unique qu’exceptionnelle. Par temps clair, le visiteur peut voir jusqu’à 80 kilomètres à la ronde, dont les montagnes des Laurentides. Pas étonnant que la Tour de Montréal soit membre de la Fédération des Grandes Tours du Monde, aux côtés, entre autres, de la Tour du CN de Toronto, de l’Empire State Building de New York et de la Menara de Kuala Lumpur. Les trois étages supérieurs de la Tour sont occupés par l’Observatoire ainsi que par deux salles de réception – le Salon Montréal et la salle de cocktail - que l’on peut louer. On accède à l’Observatoire par un funiculaire tout à fait unique en son genre. L’Observatoire, d’où les visiteurs ont une vue imprenable de Montréal et ses environs, jouit d’une grande luminosité grâce à sa fenestration et aux trois larges puits de lumière qui le traversent. Pour magnifier ce lieu où la lumière est reine, une très belle murale en verre gravé au jet de sable a été installée à la gare du funiculaire. Cette sculpture intitulée « Vol de Rêve » a été réalisée par l’artiste montréalaise Michèle Lapointe, en collaboration avec le sculpteur René Rioux. Mme Lapointe pratique son art depuis 1986 et enseigne à Espace VERRE, depuis 1990, les techniques de gravure au jet de sable et différentes techniques d’assemblage. Une partie de son enseignement est orientée vers l’intégration des arts à l’architecture. Michèle Lapointe a réalisé des œuvres qui font partie de plusieurs collections dont celles de Gaz Métropolitain, du Musée du Québec, et de la Ville de Montréal. La murale « Vol de Rêve » est l’une des œuvres maîtresses de l’artiste. L’œuvre, qui mesure 2,4 m X 4,7 m, peut être admirée à l’Observatoire depuis 1987. MON VIDEO LE STADE OLYMPIQUE MERCI MAGIK
