Véritable signature du Palais depuis son agrandissement en 2002, la grande façade en lamelles de verre coloré affiche un choix de couleurs actuel et audacieux. Mario Saia et son équipe d’architectes ont voulu représenter le haut niveau de créativité des Québécois en privilégiant la place des œuvres d’art dans la réalisation du bâtiment.

A very beautiful building but diminished somewhat by having only the Provincial flag of Québec flying. I am aware that there is a Canadian flag at street level (not shown in your photo) but that too is incorrectly placed. Nice shot though Magik, and nothing personal!
